(although they do have South Park listed still. it merely got delayed 'til next month. yay!) flix: Man On The Moon -- superficial, i thought, but nonetheless very entertaining. Cradle Will Rock -- dynamite! i'll need to see it again before i can determine whether it's as good as South Park. i once made a mix tape of all live songs, and a decent-sized chunk of it was based on this same premise. i liked it so much, i decided i oughta make an entire mix tape based on this premise, but ended up making the punk covers tape instead.

In a couple of hours I'll be off to drink all the liquor down in Costa Rica so I wanted to wish everyone a fun New Year's celebration. Thanks so much for making 1999 such a great year on the feglist. I had a great time "in real life" too: The feglunches, Nick's party, meeting up with TGQ & lj in NYC, and of course, the best RH shows in years. You guys rule. Barring Armageddon, I'll be back to work January 10.

Is this the recording Mike Hooker did? nope -- bayard's got the real suondboard recording. frankly, though, the two audience minidisc recordings out there (mike's and mine) are stupendous. i don't think i've gotten a recording this crisp and clear (with bonus quail chirpings!). when we last left our heroes, Michael Hooker exclaimed: > due to the wide tastes of the listers, i'm pretty sure i can get the info >i need here. anyone ever seen michelle shocked? she's playing at the bottom >line in NY this weekend and i'm considering going. good live? recently, yes. i'd consider going myself, but i'm going to be out of the area. as you note, michelle fell off the radar screen for a while -- after her bout with popularity. a few years later, she resurfaced with a great album called _kind-hearted woman_. it was originally released on her own label and then re-packaged on private music before they went under. the original is more striped-down versions of the songs, but even the full-band album is quite stark. i've heard a recording of a show she did around then (1996) and it's riveting. since then, she's started integrating more blues, jazz and marching band stuff into her sound (not surprising since she lives in new orleans now) and live shows. there's been a couple more independant releases too (which i haven't heard yet), but i'd be there if i could. woj "there is such thing as too much cheese ravioli" the wojster ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 19:26:57 PST From: "Arsehole" Subject: High-Fivin' White Guys (Or: What I Watched On The TeeVee Last Night) Charlie Rose: Did it happen [the fall of berlin wall] because of the bankruptcy of Communism *and Marxism*, or because of the visibility of our ideals and example? [emphasis added] Henry Kissinger: Combination of both. Charlie Rose: Who was the most important political leader of the 20th Century? Walter Isaacson: Franklin Roosevelt. Charlie Rose: More than Churchill? Walter Isaacson: [explained that yes, because churchill had clung to an "romantic 19th century" ideal [translation: perhaps the most prominent, powerful, outspoken racist this side of hitler and t. roosevelt], steadfastly opposing decolonisation. thus, history had passed him by.] Henry Kissinger: [agreed on FDR] William Buckley: Let me put in a bid for Ronald Reagan. as you can guess, it was an hour devoted to the four of them cherishing the "american century". watching it, my emotions ran from gut-busting laughter (especially at buckley's remark quoted above), to utter disbelief that *anybody* would give a fuck what these imbeciles were saying, to horrified disgust. i think the lowest point was, when they were talking about vietnam "revisionism" (viz., galbraith apparently having let kennedy off the hook for "getting us into" the war), kissinger intoned that that was fine, so long as people remembered to give props to the people who'd "gotten us out of" the war (viz., nixon and himself). everybody had a nice, long belly-laugh at that one. rose was his usual ass-kissing self, as you can imagine. is this guy is just the epitome of the softball-interview, or what? anyhow, just wanted to share.

Robyn DID NOT play at the 100 club in London a few weeks back. I thought i'd answered that one already. I'm also sure i answered mr.tews email regarding it. Robyn DID play on GLR on the 27/11 which was their last show from that building. He did "Sweetmouth" and "Guildford" and had a good chat. It was nice to hear Robyn doing Ghost In You on GLR on Monday, preceded by R.E.M. doing Arms Of Love on their two hours of connected cover versions show as also noticed by another London feg. Maybe it's the winter that's made me hide, not the turmoil at London's best radio station.

I myself was asked to do the "bookkeeping" for a local magazine's year-end poll. Approximately 45 writers submitted top 10 lists. Overall, there were 323 different albums named, yet not *one* mention of Jewels for Sophia. Far more troubling, there was exactly one writer who nominated Apple Venus Vol. 1: *me*! (I was also the only one who nominated Randy Newman, but this didn't surprise me. Twentysomething demographics and all.) In case you're curious, the final top 10 was: 1. Moby | Play [by a wide margin] 2. Beck | Midnight Vultures 3. Nine Inch Nails | The Fragile [I still can't believe that SPIN ranked this #1] 4. Rage Against the Machine | Battle of Los Angeles 5. Jimmy Eat World | Clarity [a fluke -- four lame writers ranked it in the top three, and that was enough] 6. Built to Spill | Keep It Like a Secret 7. Flaming Lips | The Soft Bulletin 8. Gomez | Liquid Skin 9. Tom Waits | Mule Variations [slipped into the top 10 at the last minute!] 10. Mike Ness | Cheating at Solitaire [local-artist bias...probably applies to Beck as well] Meanwhile, the Rolling Stone Readers Poll is in: Artist of the Year: Backstreet Boys Band of the Year: Backstreet Boys Album of the Year: Backstreet Boys, Millennium Single of the Year: Backstreet Boys, "I Want it That Way" Best Tour: Backstreet Boys Best Video: Backstreet Boys, "Larger Than Life" Best Dressed: Backstreet Boys Best Album Cover: Backstreet Boys, Millennium Best Fan Site: Backstreet Boys Best Hype: Backstreet Boys Male Artist: Kid Rock Female Artist: Britney Spears New Artist: Christina Aguilera Thank heavens the critics are so out of touch with the masses. ;) Eb 2) Nirvana/Nevermind ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 16:15:26 -0600 From: ultraconformist@ets.cncdsl.com Subject: Ebay victory! 0 RH 100 Beatles Just wanted to share this with peoples and collector weenies who might actually care.

I now can't afford to buy anything more for awhile, but this was such a bargain and so worth it. I don't think this woman had any idea what she was selling. Whoopee!
