I got the new Loud Family album today, for those who care...it's going to be awhile before I get around to playing it, however. I'm backlogged 'n' busy. And I've been sick all week (thank you, germ-infested Cracker fans...), and that's not helpful either. Meanwhile, I just received the results of another nationwide best-albums-of-1999 poll, sort of an informal poll called "Circle of Friends." It gets published in a pop-cult 'zine called Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! and the ballots are correspondingly pop-geeky (though not nearly as geeky as those Audities ballots). The top-40 consensus was: 40. Stereolab 39. Tom Petty 38. Foo Fighters 37. The Shazam 36. Sloan 35. Gay Dad 34. Supergrass 33. Ben Lee 32. Chemical Brothers 31. Gigolo Aunts 30. Shack (I really should figure out whom the hell this band is) 29. Old 97's 28. Travis 27. The Donnas **26. Robyn Hitchcock** 25. Paul McCartney 24. Pavement 23. Built to Spill 22. Jason Falkner 21. Owsley 20. Guided by Voices 19. Aimee Mann ("Bachelor No. 2" EP) 18. Ben Folds Five 17. The Negro Problem 16. Randy Newman 15. Blur (oof) 14. Suede/London Suede 13. "Magnolia" soundtrack 12. Macy Gray 11. Matthew Sweet 10. David Bowie (YEESH!) 9. Moby 8. Magnetic Fields 7. Fiona Apple 6. XTC 5. Flaming Lips 4. Wilco 3. Beck 2. Tom Waits and (brace yourself) 1. fuggin' Fountains of Wayne again, with their saccharine, contrived, harmless pop-radio tunes. Heaven help us. The poll had roughly 200 participants -- some are critics, some are industry folk, some are in retail, some are just prominent "scenesters." What's probably most interesting is a strong helping of celebrities' own top 10s, including...let's see...Dot Allison's, Laura Ballance's, Rodney Bingenheimer's, Norman Cook's, Alice Cooper's (who?), F.M. Cornog's, P.J. Harvey's, the Hang Ups', Craig Kilborn's (!?), Mac McCaughan's, Scott Miller's, Michael Quercio's, Joey Ramone's, Britney Spears', Ken Stringfellow's, Butch Vig's, Loudon Wainwright III's and Steve Wynn's. Just ask for any of these lists, and I'll rattle 'em off. Scratchy-voiced, sore-throated Eb ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 18:39:52 -0800 From: "Chris!"

Guided by Voices Oh, wait a minute...I may have swapped the names. By the way, I glanced at the point totals a little more closely...the top three of the consensus are kinda interesting. Beck appeared on more lists (47) than any other album (Fountains of Wayne only appeared on 43), but Midnite Vultures was also the *only* album in the top 14 which wasn't ranked #1 on a single list. I guess a whole lot of people thought the Beck album was near-great...but not quite great. As a result, Beck dropped to third place, scoring the same number of points as that *other* "MV" album. Since the two aren't listed as a tie, I guess the tabulator must've broken the tie by some criterion -- perhaps Waits' six first-place votes (which included my own, naturally). Further quick thoughts: I dug that *two* different contributors ranked the Mrs. Miller compilation in their top 10s. Heh. OTC was screwed again -- not even a top-40 finish in a '60s-pop-slanted poll? -- especially considering that widely shrugged-off releases from Blur, Ben Folds Five, London Suede and Guided by Voices were in the top 20, plus an Aimee Mann *EP*. No top-40 consensus for 1999 should be without Beth Orton. I'm sad that the woefully underrated Hang Ups album only got one vote in *this* poll. This is probably the *only* published top-40 consensus for 1999 (hell...top *20*, even) which won't include Rage Against the Machine and/or Nine Inch Nails. I'd really like to hear that Magnetic Fields album, but probably never will. I sure am looking forward to the US release of that Supergrass album. But we have to wait until *May*!

Schulz dies at 77 February 13, 2000 Web posted at: 2:42 a.m. EST (0742 GMT) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Charles M. Schulz, the cartoonist who delighted the world with the adventures and adversities of Charlie Brown, his friends and a dog named Snoopy, died on Saturday. He was 77. Schulz, who was diagnosed with colon cancer and suffered a series of small strokes during emergency abdominal surgery in November 1999 and announced his retirement a few weeks afterward, died in his sleep at about 9:45 p.m., his son Craig Schulz said. His wildly popular comic strip, "Peanuts," made its debut on Oct. 2, 1950. The travails of the "little round-headed kid" and his pals eventually ran in more than 2,400 newspapers, reaching millions of readers in 68 countries. ===== "America's greatest natural resource still, to this day, is the moron" --Martin Mull __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
