Simchik" Subject: nick case and neko cave What Eb said. Some of the reworkings worked better than others, I thought. I've never been able to listen to the Birthday Party, but the song he played last night was astounding. Maybe it was just the version that made it listenable, but wow. Other songs didn't come off so well, I think. I love "Straight to You" but it's already so straightforward that the quiet arrangement didn't seem too remarkable (but it was pretty). "Papa Won't Leave You Henry" was striking but a little repetitive. I can't believe he did "Stagger Lee," and I think it lost something in the transition. But I think the only one I actively disliked was the "West Country Girl" version. Eek. I only remember these moments because they were less than entrancing. What a terrific show. And I sat in J-8, which means that I was lucky enough to have Cave facing me also. Poor Neko Case, though: the speaker kept going out during her songs. I like her voice OK and her sound and I wish her songs were more memorable and thorny. Will I get in trouble if I add that she's cute as hell (and told a good story about a sex dream she had involving Madonna and Steve Earl)?

Yeah! I have heard it once so far only. Boatman's Call took me a while to get into. I guess I wasn't prepared for that mellow of an album. I got to really like it. First listen of Love Letter I know that I will eventually love it, but I need more listens. It sounded to me along the lines of Boatman's Call. Someone at work got MP3s of it.

Absolutely. The planet is a closed system and these polymers and their copolymers and the catalytic residues cannot be incorporated into natural processes. They tend to concentrate at certain points in the food chain and cause massive disruption. Some of the chemicals used are damaging in even very small quantities. Burning PET (polyethylene teraphthalate), for example (to pick a very common plastic), leaves in the ash and sends into the air a fair amount of antimony tribromide (as in, several percent concentration). This is probably the most carcinogenic substance we, as humans, know how to produce. If we were to build a "cancer bomb", this is the stuff we'd put in it. And what do you do with the waste afterward? If these chemicals aren't handled carefully and in a technological manner (as opposed to a biological one), they will continue to toxify their surroundings. Hydrolysis tests show that most consumer plastics are unstable and it is assured that most plastics leach toxins into the water table. Again PET (soda bottles, etc.) exudes acetic aldehyde and 1,4-dioxane over time. These things are EXTREMELY damaging to individual organisms in SMALL quantities. So yes, one religious group in Pennsylania is doing serious physical damage. Far worse than, say, keeping a child in the basement and beating it daily. In addition to the immediate effects on the few organisms directly damaged, the compounds linger in the soil and water, concentrating in some places and destroying in others... for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Yeah, I focussed on that one kind of plastic because it's an easy one off the top of my head without checking any reference materials. But the arguments (and the dangers) related to burning video tapes, CDs, and other consumer plastics are equal if not greater. > > I can't believe, in this day and age, people would do such a fucking > > stupid, careless, unthinking, destructive thing. > stupid, yes (IMHO); careless - well, they have different priorities > than you or I, but I don't how see this is particularly careless; > unthinking - obviously the've thought quite a bit about this, or at > least read or saw other oppresive religous zealots do it before; > destructive - not clear on this besides the actual book/CD/video. It is careless and unthinking. You say "they've thought quite a bit about this". That's not quite true. They've thought quite a bit about how it's going to make them feel to be rid of crap that distracts from the way they've chosen to live. Fine. That's true. But they haven't thought quite a bit about the effect of their burning of synthetics and petrolates in an uncontrolled environment. Their thoughts didn't go beyond the selfish expedience and bold, traditional statement of an uncontained burning. > > Fucking arrogance and short-sightedness. > Jeme, I've learned a lot from your opinions over the last year or so > that I've most lurked here - or at least you have forced me to > re-evaluate my own opinions, but one of the things that bothers me in > some of your responses is the moral superiority and arrogance you > bring.

Well, I appreciate the criticism and accept it as well as I can. Certainly you're not the first to suggest such a thing. But I'd like to say that while I do come off as maybe self-righteous and arrogant at times, it should also be noted that I try very hard to be humble and conciliatory when I'm proved mistaken. Unlike most folks (and their liberal upbringing, I'm sure (: ), I believe in what I have to say and say it with as much conviction as possible. I think the "but I could be wrong..." is implied every time a human being opens their fool trap and, when spoken aloud, just provides a convenient means for those who choose to disregard your statements out of hand. So if I come off arrogant and self-righteous, well, I'm sorry. But I do believe I am right. And some would call that arrogant and self-righteous. But I say I'm right because I don't know how else to live. I don't believe that a person who doubts all statements (even their own) can engage in meaningful discourse. My world is one in which I am always right and sometimes undecided. But I don't treat my beliefs or understandings as sacred. It's an evolving thing, the Right Thing. And if ever I say or write anything that's demonstrably false, I will rescind my statement in a heartbeat (or explain it in a way that fits the truth). And if ever I say or write a thing that comes from ignorance of certain facts, bring those facts to my attention and I WILL incorporate them into my view and in that incorporation my view will be changed, slightly or greatly. So, I guess I'm saying that I hear that alot... people think I'm arrogant. I can only try to show that arrogance is a kind of ignorance (ignorance of ones own frailty, perhaps) and I try very hard to keep ignorance out of my life. But I could be wrong. > However, you are certainly anything BUT short-sighted - and you can't > be angry with those who are either short-sighted or plain stupid. Was this a typo? I sure as hell CAN be angry with those who are short-sighted or stupid. In fact, I am. But pretty much only when their stupidity or short-sightedness has impact outside of their stupid or short-sighted lives. > Being purposefly short-sighted for immediate gains; deceit; > obstructing the truth; these are the things that should piss you off - > not the half-assed attempts of some dimwitted zealots in rural PA to > influence pop culture. Again, their influence on pop culture is their own. They have every right to go about that sort of work. It's their influence on the air, water, and soil that I cannot abide. Their influence on culture can be counteracted with the spread of knowledge and information. And as I've said on this list literally HUNDREDS of times, knowledge and information are in infinite supply and are easily transported. So I don't worry there at all. But cleaning up the mess they're making of the physical world, that's harder and requires more scarce resources and, in some cases, knowledge we're yet to discover. I should talk to you some time about biological and technological cycles, how the two should/can never mix and how we can improve the quality of both technology and the enviornment as well as our quality of life. There are just a few simple principles and they all have to do with using what you've got and respecting whence a thing comes and where it goes.

My plans for tomorrow (Detroit) are a little up in the air, at the moment. I've been dilatory in solidifying them. I'm flying into Detroit from Chicago, and arriving at the Detroit airport at 1:55PM. At some point, I have to meet Carissa, as she has my ticket for the show, but my entire afternoon is free. I'm trying to avoid the extra expense of renting a car, so I'm hoping there is sufficient public transportation in Detroit upon which I can rely heavily. Does anyone have any suggestions of things I can do/see in Detroit on a Thursday afternoon? Never been there, but it would be preferable if someone could recommend a certain area of town where there were perhaps several items of interest, so that I could make my way via public transportation from the airport, and then kill several hours without having to travel again. Also, anyone who can tell me specifics about any pre-show meeting plans, that'd be great. Carissa sent me an email from the road indicating "dinner at the veggie place" at around 6PM, but I don't know where that is, or anything else about it. Thanks -- looking forward to doing some feg meeting, and REALLY looking forward to these three shows. * Aaron mailto:aaron@hollowstreets.net http://aaron.hollowstreets.net ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 11:21:13 -0800 From: "Cynthia Peterson" Subject: RE: Hope this is the right address Welcome to Jill, and thanks for the article!
