In the past year or two, several notoriously "dormant" artists finally released new albums. Names like Peter Gabriel, Nine Inch Nails, XTC, Elastica, King Crimson, the Meat Puppets...you get the picture. I was brainstorming about who else is still grossly overdue (who, indeed, still seems to be active/viable). From my own collection, I jotted down: Due since 1988: Mary Margaret O'Hara (retired?) Due since 1990: Danielle Dax (released an EP in recent times, I believe?) Due since 1991: My Bloody Valentine (dead band?), Chris Stamey (collaborative album released in 1995), Wire (reactivated?) Due since 1992: Young Fresh Fellows (maybe Wire and YFF shouldn't count...and, yes, ditto for the Soft Boys) Due since 1993: KATE BUSH, THE BREEDERS. Due since 1995: LAURIE ANDERSON (album coming shortly, I believe), Bandit Queen (dead band?), Ruby (dead band?), Simon Bonney (retired?), the Bats (dead band?). Due since 1996: WEEZER, THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS, SUZANNE VEGA, the Wrens (though I believe they self-released an album on cassette, later), the Chills (rarities comps don't really count), the Clean (dead band?), the Golden Palominos, the Blue Nile, Sam Phillips, Scott Johnson, Gavin Friday, Mazzy Star. Due since 1997 (perhaps not so overdue, by modern standards): Mike Watt, Bob Dylan, Tanya Donelly, the Cranes, David Byrne, Eric Matthews, Foetus, John Lydon, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Pigeonhed, Portastatic (EP released this year, but...), Robert Wyatt, the Moog Cookbook, World Party, the Sundays. I put a few names in capital letters, whose inactivity is especially puzzling. Who would you add to this list? And don't name artists whom you want to come out of "retirement," but artists who seem to be legitimately functional.

What's really surreal now is that all the big media outlets are talking about how we've got to "reform" the system by having everyone buy new voting machines! In other words, they want US taxpayers to blow zillions on some sort of marginal-at-best hardware improvement, when we could easily solve the entire problem at almost no cost whatsoever with a simple amendment. [OK, maybe it isn't really *surreal*, at least not in the Salvador Dali/ Andre Breton sense. I guess a better word would be "comical"...] Is it just possible that the folks who are behind this suggestion are the same folks who run the GIGANTIC MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS that build and sell voting machines?

The next two should be a bit hectic for most. I'm getting ready to go out to an art show and record my friend's band. Oh the living arts of Toledo, OH... While I'm preparing for tonights adventures I put the poor quality Soft Boys Radar Demos in. The qualities so awful (not to be confused with the performance) it sounds like I'm playing it from the bath tub and listening to it from the kitchen sink. Such a recording one can only be listened to very occassionally. I thought I'd just point out that the Soft Boys studio version of "Give me a spanner, Ralph" in my opinion, is far superior to the Invisible Hitchcock version, and I really hope it ends up on the UM bonus disc. Also this song Psychedelic Love would be a good one too. I'm impressed with all the material the SBs recorded in their short lived life. I guess it's no surprise with RH being involved. Anyone know a guess-ta-mated # of songs that he's written? I know someone touch on this about a year ago but I'm bored and killing time before the night begins. Well, I'm gonna do something else. I hope everyone has a good night.

I'm listening to "Mr. Wilson," off the (kinda lackluster and calculated) new Jayhawks album, Smile. The first and second verses *seem* to be about Brian Wilson and Alex Chilton: "Mister, Mister Wilson Humble and brave, empty of hate On your best behavior You can be sure, I won't ignore you No one knows you quite like I do You're so brand new" "Alex flew to Memphis Smug in his ways, big in his day Claimed all children evil Scared that his best is all in his past No one knows you quite like I do You're so used" But then the third verse comes: "Holly paced the desert Twisted her dreams, hatched crazy schemes Canceled her engagements High on cocaine, jumpstart her brain No one knows you quite like I do It all fell through" If the pattern holds, this ought to depict a famous musician named Holly. But I can't even *name* any, besides Holly Palmer and Holly Vincent, and those two seem awfully obscure when juxtaposed with Chilton/Wilson. Any ideas? (And don't say Holly Johnson, because he doesn't match the feminine pronouns.) Or is it wrong to even presume the first two verses are about Brian Wilson and Alex Chilton? More generally, do you feel like the "alt.country" movement has peaked, or is it still flourishing?
