For some reason, I got to thinking about clever/biting/witty, etc song dedications on this morning's commute (perhaps it was listening to the live Butthole Surfers version of "This One Goes Out To The One I Love" on my never-before-crashed-although-I-thought-it-once-had-until-I-realized-the-bat tery-was-dead-iPod). My two favorites (that I witnessed, that is) were: 2. Nirvana -- January 1994 in DC, dedicating "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam" to the recently-departed River Phoenix. I wonder, in retrospect, whether it was actually ironic (as I thought April 8, 1994), or if Kurt was saying "see you soon" to River. 1. Robyn Hitchcock -- Chicago Park West, 6/17/92, dedicating "Trash" to the entire audience (gee, thanks, Robyn).

I don't know. I think Spielberg can be very dark when he wants to be - -- Jaws, Close Encounters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, Private Ryan, and AI all had some wonderfully unflinching moments, even though he tends towards schmaltz at emotional points. From the trailers, I get the feeling that Senor Spielbergo is really putting some work into this one, and the first two-thirds of AI gave me confidence that he could still make a credible SF film. My biggest fear is that he will turn it into an action movie at the cost of sacrificing the philosophical ambiguities at the heart of most Dick stories. I hope that, like Blade Runner, it can balance the gravity of its ideas with its tech-noir style and action sequences. >Also, Tom Cruise >bugs me - which is why I loved him in _Magnolia_, when he was Asshole 1st >Class...fit him well! I actually like Tom Cruise. I recall reading a review of him in Eyes Wide Shut that pointed out he did well "reacting" to things, as Kubrick intended. I agree -- I think Cruise is at his best when he is *confronted* with things, as opposed to playing an "action hero." And for this reason, I think he'd make a good Philip K. Dick protagonist, like Harrison Ford before him -- a strong and above-average guy who is forced to confront moral instabilities in his own system. While I certainly enjoyed "Total Recall," Arnold's presence made it into, well, an Arnold movie, not a Philip K. Dick movie.... - --Quail ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 08:30:27 -0700 (PDT) From: "Eugene Hopstetter, Jr." Subject: Whoops, I'm an Ectophile! I picked up Tori Amos' "Strange Little Girls" CD on ebay (on a lark, and for a song) and am surprisingly entertained by it. Probably because Jennifer Charles and Elysian Fields haven't made any new records, and I'm on this Heavy Breathing Contemporary Torch Woman Singer thing lately. It might be time to start investigating some of the contemporary jazz singers like Norah Jones and Cassandra Wilson. "Strange Little Girls" is a thrilling recording, and although some of her intepretations are cringeworthy ("Happiness is A Warm Gun" and "Heart of Gold"), others are quite mesmerizing ("New Age" and "Enjoy the Silence"). She does do the sexy heavy breathing bit a lot, but, heck, whatever. I like it. How does it compare to her earlier work? And gee, is this woj-bait or what? . LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!

But yeah, I think XTC's rockin' days are far behind them... rockin' just doesn't work for a studio band.

A double CD would have been nice, or at least simultaneous release a la Tom Waits (or Guns 'n Roses).

Ross, you are definitely right about France and Italy, where folk singers (cantautori, chansonniers) are actual stars throughout the entire population. AFAIK, *everybody* in Italy reveres Fabrizio de Andri. I don't know about Sweden, but Germany is different. There is no common denominator. The traditional folk music is to all intents and purposes dead. The pseudo folk is very popular, but only with a certain crowd that is probably similar to the crowd that listens to bad mainstream country in the US. There are some good bands singing in German but their music isn't traditional in any way, and they mostly appeal to the younger generation. - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Ehrenfeldg|rtel 156, 50823 Kvln, Germany http://www.spinfo.uni-koeln.de/~hgd/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 12:26:09 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: Re: Jar Jar's favorite XTC song is "Fruit Nut" On Mon, 20 May 2002, Natalie Jane wrote: > The fact that I am forced to watch hockey while working out at the gym, > means I actually get this joke.

Unfortunately(?), his name is pronounced "Shuh-taan". Even though, whenever I see him on the ice I say to myself, in my best Gibby Haynes voice, "SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!" There is a guy on the L.A.
