Leisure is good (in my mind) but a bit immature. Modern Life is Rubbish is very good and occasionally brilliant (both in terms of melody and lyrics). Parklife is my favorite album of the 90s: great music and quirky observations of life keep coming. The Great Escape has a lot of good stuff on it but, it is overproduced (somewhat self-conscious and there are just too many horns). When their self-titled album came out, and some of us were expecting more great tunes and pointed lyrics, they did a sea change (and I can understand why), but they didn't manage to take me with them for about half of it. And their last album..... I actually came upon them because of the Kinks. Everyone was calling Ray Davies the godfather of Britpop (a title he loathes; he says it makes him feel like he is a 1000 years old), and bands like Blur, Pulp, and Oasis (though I don't know why for this group) were being called modern-day Kinks, so I had to go see what it was all about. Someone sent me a video clip of Ray and Damon Albarn on TV doing Waterloo Sunset together, and then they broke into the chorus of Parklife, which sounded intriguing. And then I went Blur nuts, and managed to see them quite soon after at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA, a club that can't hold more than about 500 people. I couldn't believe that in England they were selling out Wembley, and here they were in a smoky basement. Great, great show. Subsequent shows have been good, but not as wonderful. So....I'd say that one should start with Parklife, but then one shouldn't expect anything better. Or...start with Modern Life is Rubbish and get the next two in order. Not that anybody asked...

Parklife is my favorite >album of the 90s: great music and quirky observations of life keep coming. For what it's worth, I think MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH and 13 are the best. PARKLIFE I like a lot, but its derivative nature (which is intentional, I think -- it's like a tribute album to the previous 30 years of British pop music) counts off a bit. In fact, since PARKLIFE was my first Blur album, I was thinking that they would be great if they had their own sound, then I got MODERN LIFE and found out that they already did. 13 makes the wrong turns of BLUR worth it; "Tender" makes you think the album's going to be an ersatz white-boy soul breakup album, but nothing could be further from the truth. The rest of the album is populated by noisy soundscapes, staccato bursts of Andy MacKay-like sax skronk, disconnected lyrics floating about while Damon's shattered mind loses itself in a haze of coffee, TV, and God knows what drugs.

This suggests one of my persoanl theories(run, run for the hills while theres still time. Run I say) After traditional cultures with their obvious initiation ceromonies died out there was still a need for an initiation (a rite with a near death component to it to mark the change from adolescence to adulthood.) Western culture as we know it supplied it in two forms--war for men, childbirth for woman. If you survived life was more precious and you happy to take your place in it. Well now most woman refuse to be drugged in childbirth, find the resources within themselves to bear the pain and are rewarded with the incredible sensation of feeling another human life emerge from them. But what about guys? Theres no hell for them to survive and prevail over. Nothing that makes them know they are a Man the way childbirth makes you know youre a Woman. Im not advocating war here, just saying the lack of a valid male initiation makes modern life tougher for guys. Its like they're running around trying to prove something, but they're not quite sure what or why.(p.s. this is a generalization, an overview. I know there are holes in it.) >I'll probably face serious consequences soon because, >whilst listening to one of the live SB shows today when I thought the >kids >were outside, I found my daughter and her friend dancing to Rock >and Roll >Toilet in my kitchen.Can't wait to find out whether that >made it home or >not.

Jeez, guy, what book are you getting this stuff out of--cause I want a copy. Thats spot-on. Its seems youre partly talking about the mytho-poetic that seeps thru alot of our "low culture." For some reason the first Highlander movie immediatly springs to mind as a good example. People want, need this stuff with its life and color and archetypal resonances. They want what answers their own deeper needs and wants. Needs and wants which arent entirely intellectually respectable since they are either emotional(which our culture supresses) or spiritual(which our culture denies exists at all.) Yet is these very things which give blood to life, authenticy to existance and meaning to intelligence. They are the foundation which gives depth. But what about when more serious movie makers move into that realm. Im thinking something like "Time Bandits"? Theres plenty of room to play imaginatively in it, its incredibly powerful but its also made with a skill level which increases its power and its beauty. Skill has its uses. I think whats important is that the movie or music or whatever is that its not hermetically-sealed--so that the spectator can participate in it and create/recreate their own version/vision. Thats old fashoined Romanticism(think 1780s-1820s approx.) Thats also old REM(can't make out the words--well then --better make up your own:-). Its also Reader-Response lit-crit theory. And yes, it is more likely to happen in badly made stuff. Maybe cause its the stuff that needs you more;-). But Id like to think that the very best stuff is well-made andlets you in to the deep, soul-making stuff . (What about Robyns stuff:-)? Godwin I also saw the Wings thing. And also was suprised by the lack of Laine appreciation. Ive never gotten the feeling that there was alot of emotional generosity in Paul, and that just confirmed it. He can and has transcended himeself(some of the Beatles stuff,some of the first album and occaissional other signs), but otherwise ... And agree with Susan on the nudge nudge, wink wink thing.

I guess it's debatable whether Ridley Scott is a great director, but I think his Alien was better than Jeunet's by a very large margin. Certainly I think he set a standard that's considerably higher than that set by Planet of the Apes, Rollerball, or Police Academy. >From: "Brian Huddell" > >First album is actually "Leisure" and I can't second that recommendation. >The follow up, "Modern Life Is Rubbish" really shows the first glimpses of >the perfect encyclopedic britpop they master on "Parklife", and all but >exhaust on "The Great Escape". I like _Leisure_ -- there are some excellent songs on it along with the mediocre, which is pretty much how it is on most Blur albums IMO. _Modern Life_ is very very good, but it took a while for it to grow on me. _Parklife_ is close to perfect. I've never heard _The Great Escape_ (will probably get around to buying it used one of these days), and I'm lukewarm on the "American indie" albums _Blur_ and _13_ (back to the great songs mixed with mediocre problem again). Oh -- the thing with _Leisure_ is that it's pretty saturated with that "baggy/Madchester" sound that was all the rage at that time (see also Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Charlatans UK). To me that's a plus, but others might disagree. - -- Andrew D.

Now there's a frood who knew where his towel was. You are invited to join your fellow hitchhikers in mourning the loss of the late great one. Join in on towel day to show your appreciation for the humor and insight that Douglas Adams brought to all our lives. What do I do? Carry your towel with you throughout the day to show your participation and mourning. When do I do it? May 25th, 2001 Where do I do it? Everywhere. Why a towel? To quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine soredly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with. ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 13:28:07 -0700 From: Mark Gloster Subject: Notes from beyond.... Somehow I am really enjoying a couple of things on TV right now. I must confess being a bit hooked on Dark Shadows.... I found out why so many people are drunk in the morning: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~thinker/dsdrink.html Also, I really like watching the OLN coverage of the Giro D'Italia. I'm hoping that when they do the Tour de France that they cover it as a _SPORTING EVENT_, unlike ESPN's occasional mention of the day's cycling events during the past two years' tours. Blur vs. Oasis: I kinda like Blur. I guess if I don't say good things about Oasis, Lj won't like me anymore. I kinda think both bands could spend a few more minutes writing each song and reach a little harder to go beyond hooks, but for pop culture stuff, I like both of them. I think Noel has a cool looking guitar, but I think Pete Townshend had that paint job before he did. _Delicatessen_ was great, _City of Lost Children_ was good, but what it had in visuals it lost in story.

Firstly a vasectomy should be a mandatory thing. Handed out to men as soon as puberty arrives, a kind of a global bar mitzvah, so that children can only be conceived at least with a male protagonist, if the father has a parenthood licence which he probably wouldn't get until he was about forty. And the other thing is that the fuckers just shouldn't be allowed to drive. I tell ya young men is bad news. They make the young girls like lanterns, all giddy, they go out, fall over and get extinquished. As for those shorts . . ." From the south by southwest show, 3/2001: "When I was a young man, I was uncertain of the sexual role that young men had to play... And I was wise to question it. Because I realized one fundamental truth: young men.. are discusting. And they grow... into even more repellent older ones. So guys, you got it coming. Girls, it's not too late - you can still marry yourselves." (intro to "he's a reptile" - in a slightly Texan accent... sounds like he was about to start singing, then another bandmade asked for more time, so he said this.)
