Apologies if this has been discussed recently, I haven't had time to read the digests comprehensively in quite a while. Also noted: (also wik) I recently came across a children's book from 1931 called "The Stars For Sam ".

I keep forgetting that everyone else loves Elvis, too. I need help with a song ID. I heard this on the radio - it sounded like a non-annoying Of Montreal (if you can imagine that): slightly cluttered horn and wind arrangements with a fey-sounding singer going on about a "knitting bee" where you can knit whatever you want. I almost thought it *was* Of Montreal except that the arrangements were more adroit and the singer could carry a tune. So who was this? Interesting fact: the word "fey" actually means clairvoyant or under a spell, and I've heard it used to refer to a person who can foresee their own death.

Their run >there was astounding. God yes. Season Two of MILLENNIUM -- the one James Wong and Glen Morgan produced, with Glen's brother Daryl writing several of the episodes -- is one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen. I hope it'll be on DVD someday; I didn't have the foresight to start taping it. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2002 15:30:48 -0600 From: Miles Goosens Subject: Re: M&W I said: >God yes.

I don't have it on VHS. I do have it as a 520 MB MPEG, but lack any means of getting it onto a computer with a CD burner. I was hoping some kind Feg out there would help me out. Perhaps I could FTP it over the Internet to someone with a burner? In the meantime, I offer it to the world whenever I'm logged on to Morpheus (which I'm not, at the moment). The file name is "Buffy 6x07 - Once More with Feeling.mpg", so just searching for "6x07" should find it. However, I'd strongly recommend you watch the earlier episodes first. At least watch the first three from this season ("Bargaining" parts 1 and 2 and "After Life"). Miles, great comments on the current season of Buffy. I couldn't have said it any better myself! (And I didn't.) However, I can understand those who argue that Buffy has gotten too dark. They're sensing a real problem but missing the cause. Dark, depressing stories are fully within the Buffy tradition. They've always been there, but leavened with happy moments and humor. The problem is that lately there has been less of that leavening, and humorous part has often been less funny. Look at the wedding episode, "Hell's Bells": lots of jokes, but too many of them were heavy handed or just silly (and the "circus freak" thing was repeated too much). Meanwhile, the central story, Xander backing out of the wedding, was handled pretty well IMO. Sure it was sad, but that was NOT the problem with this episode! The above is a good example of the sloppy writing that I've seen in recent episodes, and it, rather than the dark tone, is what we really should worry about. - --Chris the amateur Buffy pundit ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V11 #107 ********************************
