I'm just wondering this because I don't think you understand humor in the written form. Or is it only the expectation of humor that allows you to recognize humor? I'm asking this in all seriousness. I think it was Aaron Mandel (I could be totally wrong here) who knew somebody that honestly said something like "You don't know what movies you're going to like before you see them? I'll help you out. You see, you watch the commercials and if the commercial is funny and has happy music and makes you laugh, it's a comedy and if you like comedies, you'll think it's a good movie. If it's full of sad music and has people looking sad, then it's a sad movie and if you like sad movies, it'll be really good." or something similar. [in fact, I'm dying to hear that story again] I guess I can understand that things like sarcasm don't come across perfectly well in an email, but I don't know if it's your best course of action to assume that all email is sent with complete seriousness. In fact, in this way, I think, you are exactly opposed to JH3. I'm pretty sure that John views absolutely every post as a joke and has to be reminded when something's deadly serious (and then he'll only make fun of it on an intellectual level instead of making fun of it in a personal and pointed way).

As I returned, walkingwn the aisle, DDR begant their set. I was the only one in the joint moving. The orchestra pit was empty. Everyone was frozen, their mouths agape, and eyes fixed on the stage. I made it a back to my seat and asked my wife, "what the fuck is that?" On stage was a trio of 2 women and 1 male, all wearing the same uniform: a black g-string and 2 playing cards (one for each nipple). I guess they were wearing playing cards because it was Las Vegas. The female guitarist/singer moved like a retired stripper (backbends, highkicks, splits, etc). The other female (reportedly blind - yes blind) played the drums like Moe Tucker (She stood up and played a couple of tom-toms). The other guitar player, a male, wore the same gear as the others. It was a whacked-out show. griffith (bummed I missed The Cramps perform this year) ===== - --------------------------------------------------------- Griffith Davies hbrtv219@yahoo.com Yahoo!

OK...I heard the Badly Drawn Boy album today. I like it, but I think it's another case of the production/arrangements being much stronger than the actual songwriting. He's also a fairly dull performer -- he doesn't have that ability to make you care about what he's singing, and that's important with this style. He doesn't make me want to focus on his voice and listen to his lyrics. My attention ended up fixed on the instrumental textures, instead (which are quite lovely, admittedly). There was one song ("Pissing in the Wind," I think) where the fog lifted and all of a sudden, *there popped his vocals*. But otherwise...well, Elliott Smith does the same shtick a lot better (see below). In any case, this means my top-10 list for 2000 is now "official." Whoopee, right? Here are some quick notes on the year's releases. Enjoy them at your own peril. My favorite 10 albums (full of dark-horse candidates, it seems): 1. Elliott Smith/Figure 8 (DreamWorks) 2. Amy Correia/Carnival Love (Odeon/Capitol) 3. Chris Knox/Beat (Thirsty Ear) 4. P J Harvey/Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea (Island) 5. Eels/Daisies of the Galaxy (DreamWorks) 6. Lambchop/Nixon (Merge) 7. Jurassic 5/Quality Control (Interscope) 8. Patti Smith/Gung Ho (Arista) 9. Einsturzende Neubauten/Silence is Sexy (Mute) 10. Billy Bragg & Wilco/Mermaid Avenue Vol. II (Elektra) Honorable mention: XTC (), Sleater-Kinney, Marianne Faithfull, Neil Young [Silver & Gold], Nelly Furtado, Laika, Juliana Hatfield [Beautiful Creature]. Regrettably disqualified contenders: Supergrass/Supergrass (released in 1999, overseas), Jeff Buckley/Mystery White Boy. Substantial disappointments: XTC (), King Crimson, Elastica, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Neil Young, Meat Puppets, Stereolab [EP], Yo La Tengo, Frank Black and Land of the Loops. *Worst*-album candidates (selected a bit less scientifically): Ian Brown, the Kottonmouth Kings, Bundle of Hiss, Add N to (X), Don Caballero, Wheatus, Dogstar, Masters of the Hemisphere, Arab Strap, the Smoking Popes. I believe the top prize would have to go to Add N to (X), with the Kottonmouth Kings coming in second. Notable personal discoveries: Amy Correia, Jurassic 5, Nelly Furtado, Cornelius, Dusty Trails, Badly Drawn Boy (yup), Great Lakes, the Nevada Bachelors, Grenadine, Andrea Parker, Toshack Highway, the Marshmallow Coast. Thirteen notable catalog albums I grabbed (in no order): Ornette Coleman/Something Else!!!, John Coltrane/Coltrane Jazz, Charles Mingus/Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Soundtrack/Once Upon a Time in the West, Richard & Linda Thompson/Hokey Pokey, Neil Young/Rust Never Sleeps (the best of the lot), the Birthday Party/Junkyard + Prayers on Fire + Mutiny/The Bad Seed, the Yardbirds/Greatest Hits 1964-1966, Ween/God Ween Satan: The Oneness, Robyn Hitchcock/The Kershaw Sessions, Wire/Behind the Curtain. M.I.A. (which partially explains why this year's output was so underwhelming for me): Neutral Milk Hotel, Portishead, Sebadoh, Nine Inch Nails, Spiritualized, the Flaming Lips, Eric Matthews, Hole, Randy Newman, R.E.M., Rufus Wainwright, Beck, Richard Thompson, Owsley, Beth Orton, Elvis Costello, Quasi, Liz Phair, Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Jason Falkner, Tanya Donelly, Pavement, the Sundays, Butthole Surfers, Tricky.... New releases I liked: 68 (and counting). New releases I didn't like: approximately 320 (and counting). Of special note: Claudine Longet's first American CD release! ;) It's a bit depressing when albums by Elliott Smith, P J Harvey, Patti Smith and Billy Bragg/Wilco, which are somewhat disappointing within the context of the artists' full catalogs, still made my top 10. I really think this was about the least appealing year for music I've ever experienced. I feel like I should've heard at least four or five other albums better than Figure 8, but...they just didn't arrive. Perhaps I missed out on some gems in the electronic/techno genre. I really don't know. Incidentally, something else unusual: The 10 albums on my top-10 list were the same ones I "suspected" would be on the list, beforehand. Only the order was juggled -- Billy Bragg sank a few notches, Chris Knox and P J Harvey rose a few, etc. No big changes in my views, over the course of the year. Though as I said before, the P J Harvey album did grow on me a bit.

Amon Tobin - Supermodified (the live show was unbelievable) Download - Effector (this fucking kicks ass, it's my husband's favorite cd in a long long time [though he is a self-described Cevin Key junkie]) Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man (the Nick Cave cover alone is worth it, though the rest of the album is stirring) PJ Harvey - Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea (though i have to admit that i hate the title of this, it just doesn't work) Kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions (this just grooves) Einsturzende Neubauten - Silence Is Sexy (definitely impressive) Bebel Gilberto - Tanto Tempo (yum!) bands that didn't release in 2000 that i miss the most: R.E.M. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds The Orb Cornershop Grant-Lee Phillips bands that tried hard in 2000 but didn't quite excite me: Banco de Gaia - Igizeh (something magical is missing here, some cheezy vocals might've killed it some) Bjork - Selmasongs (i want to like this more than i do, i really do) the Cure - Bloodflowers (an admirable last gasp) Sasha & John Digweed - Communicate (mostly uninspiring - i want more of 0 deg. North) DJ Food - Kaleidoscope (since this name belongs to a rotating cast, i don't blame DJ Food in general) the Creatures - U.S. Retrace (never again will they be like Boomerang) Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (this was fkn amazing live, but loses that magic on cd..) stuff i adored that would've been on the top ten but doesn't count for one reason or another: Jeff Buckley - Mystery White Boy Natacha Atlas - The Remix Collection Thievery Corporation - DJ Kicks Kruder & Dorfmeister - DJ Kicks Fila Brazilia - Brazilification Alphaville - Salvation DJ Cheb i Sabbah - Maha Maya: Shri Durga Remixes of course, in the cd case that goes to and from work with me, and in my car, are all the cd's i can't stop listening to. for the sake of all readers, i will stop here. indecisively, Eclipse np: the ringing in my ears ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2000 01:32:14 -0800 (PST) From: "J.
