Here's a report that I hope may interest some of you. My friend Hannes and I spent 18 very relaxing days there. The weather wasn't as sunny as I had expected; one person told us that Florida is not only the Sunshine State but also the Rain State ... still, there was only one day where it rained all day long. On the other instances the precipitation was actually quite welcome. I've got rather light skin and was glad that the sun wasn't beating down as badly as I had expected. I was also very glad to have air conditioning everywhere. Now I actually miss it over here. I know that it's terribly wasteful as far as energy is concerned, but when it's as hot and humid as it was in Florida I couldn't imagine going without. Here in Germany the amount of time where you might need it is of course much smaller. I loved the Everglades. We didn't get to see very much of them, but even the short one hour tour we took was IMH in itself reason enough to make the trip to Florida. Public transport was both a pleasant and an unpleasant suprise. From Miami Beach it was much better than I had expected. For only $1.25 plus a quarter for each transfer you can go just about everywhere. I did a pilgrimage tour to the Apple Store at The Falls mall and one took less than 90 minutes from our hotel. I took a Metrobus, then the (free!) Metromover, then Metrorail and finally a South-Dade Busway bus. All that for just $1.75! A trip like that would be much more expensive in Germany ... There were downsides, however. Very few people seem to use public transport. It seemed like basically only the people who couldn't afford a car. That's a shame. In general I'd say that the service is better than its reputation. But then there was the Pro Player Stadium nightmare. I like baseball a lot. There's no baseball to speak of in Germany and you can't even watch MLB matches on TV (as opposed to NBA, NHL and NFL matches). So of course I wanted to take the opportunity to go see the Marlins. I had learned from the Internet that getting back after the match would be a problem for a night game. So we decided to watch a match starting at 1:35 on a Sunday. Getting *to* the stadium would've been OK if I had known that there are two bus routes with almost the same name ... I didn't and we got a little stranded, but we caught a cab for the last couple of miles and got there in time for the second inning. Still, already then we could see that you weren't expected to go there by any other means than your own car. We had read that you couldn't take a backpack into the stadium, but had taken for granted that there would be an opportunity to deposit it. There wasn't. We were told "why don't you just leave it in your car?" ... Finally, one of the parking lot supervisors was kind enough to take care of it until after the match. I have to say that everybody in Miami was most helpful. I'd say that on a personal level people there are much kinder, more civil and polite than they are here in Germany. Anyway, the ballgame was over by 5:15. We walked to the bus station where a few other people were waiting as well. To cut a long story short: we all waited for nearly 3 hours for a bus before we gave up and got a cab to the Metrorail station. Looking back I think the whole thing was indicative of several issues: First, it's ridiculous that there are no timetables at the stops. I've seen that in New York/New Jersey as well, but never anywhere else in the world. You're supposed to *know* when the buses go, because apparently only commuters are expected to take them(?). Second, our fellow waiters (pun intended) were sheep-like in their attitudes. I wonder for how long they may have kept standing there! I'm going out on a limb here, but I guess they weren't taught to develop any initiative themselves. Now we come to my question. I read the Miami Herald almost daily (sorry Peter, the Sun-Sentinel was harder to find) and I was surprised how relatively liberal it was! They attacked both the Bushes on a daily basis and actually called the current state administration class fighters from the top. Is Knight-Ridder generally known to be a liberal publisher? I wasn't aware of that ... OK, I guess I've rambled on for long enough. Hopefully some of you find this outside perspective interesting.

They don't do that anymore, the guitar tech quit and is now working for estranged Wilco guitarist Jay Bennett (or so Jane tells me). Dunno if he does "Immigrant Song" with Bennett and co. or not. Jane insists, over and over again, that Wilco don't "rock" anymore. I'm not sure why she's spending exorbitant amounts of money and time to see a band that doesn't "rock" to her satisfaction, nor do I understand why she thinks that the Minus 5 "rock" harder (this utterly baffles me), but I guess that's her problem. :) Re. Wilco/REM being cheaper at Bumbershoot - yeah, but that means I have to drive up to Seattle, find accommodations, etc... and then show up exhausted for my first day of class on September 2. Plus, they're pretty much the only bands I want to see at Bumbershoot, except for maybe Rhett Miller. I decided it wasn't worth it. In other news (Eb, please take note), I saw the new X-Men movie on Friday night and I thought it was pretty keen, but the first one was better. I saw it in second run and I'm glad I only paid $3 for it. The plot was too cluttered and there were too many new characters to take in. I wish they had more about Nightcrawler, he was cool. Hugh Jackman remains as insanely good-looking as ever, and ran around shirtless a lot, so that made the movie worthwhile. n. p.s.

Huh? I dunno, that's getting kind of meta for me. My mom might know. (She's a far bigger MST3K fan than me - she's even been to conventions!) I forgot to mention earlier that a couple of weeks ago I assembled the world's largest trivia team (I think about ten or fifteen people) and we won second place, trouncing Malkmus and his cronies. We've never won before. We got a Hulk toy monster truck, green Hulk pudding, and some candy. It was a shining moment in my life which I will never forget. Now, the gnatmaniax... Well, I guess I knew this would happen if I went to a show at Berbati's, the venue with the rudest audiences in town. I finally snapped and SCREAMED at a bunch of noisy drunk people to SHUT UP. While this was cathartic initially, it really upset me and everyone around me and didn't shut them up, either. After one of the drunk girls kept harrassing me, I ended up leaving at the encore. This was one of the worst concert experiences I've had for a long time, and it pretty much ruined the show for me. Next time I'm just going to keep my big mouth shut, or leave if I can find a better place to see, or at least not wait till I'm at the point of snapping before I say anything. Anyway... Spoon were awesome. Amazingly tight, rockin' and having a great time. Britt Daniel is effortlessly sexy - it's like, he knows he's sexy but he just doesn't give a shit, which makes him even sexier. He does a little hip-swivel thing which reminds me of descriptions of Rhett Miller. He had a beautiful Guild electric guitar and I noticed his back-up guitar was one of those hollow-bodies with the "devil horns" like what Jeff has. I was over to the side of the stage so I mainly saw his side and back (see the RSBF thread for more rock star backs), or sometimes his pleased grin and teasing the bassist as he turned towards my side of the stage. He bantered cheerfully with the audience, asking them if they'd been to the Michelle Branch show tonight. They played a lot of stuff from "Girls Can Tell" (including the first Spoon song I ever heard, "Lines in the Suit") and somewhat less stuff from "Kill the Moonlight," oddly enough. They played some old songs too - I hope Uyen won't puke on me when I say I didn't recognize them. I have to get "A Series of Sneaks"... those songs were really good. They played their "hit" single "The Way We Get By," which got the crowd going, and one of my favorites, "Something To Look Forward To," with its sexy swagger. But my favorite part of the show was when the bassist soundchecked by playing the bassline to Joy Division's "Transmission," which I always play on the guitar when I'm getting ready for practice. That cracked me up. I didn't get to talk to the keyboardist from Ann Arbor, and I didn't get to give Britt a li'l tinfoil devil... but that devil was originally earmarked for Tim Easton anyway, maybe it wanted to go straight to its master. Anyway, I hope I get to see these stormin' Texans in a better environment... maybe they'll have a big hit and play the cavernous Crystal Ballroom next time, with its bouncy floor. And next time I'll try to keep my temper. n. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 12:00:36 -0700 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: Funky moodiness continues, but what're you gonna do...

Added #2 Daughter's name to her big sister's on their bedroom door, using some pre-cut wooden letters and a unique self-designed paint treatment that turned out pretty cool. But man was it hot... And then my folks told me that they were seriously considering selling the house and property where I grew up. And hey, they gotta do what they gotta do, but my heart is breaking. This is the 6 acres of hillside woods, the big pond, the stone-face 2-story house and fruit orchard that was created from the landscaping on up by my parents when I was less than a year old. So in addition to my entire childhood being spent there, some of my fondest adult memories are set there as well. Hell, I got married there, under the fanstastically huge oak tree that overlooks the steep bank of the pond. And I've taken my older daughter back there and she loves all the green, the water, the ducks, the garden... I never thought that there would come a time when it woudn't be there for me to go back to. And now they're saying they might sell it as soon as next summer... and we aren't able to go back and visit this year. It's very hard for me to deal with the idea that I might not ever spend another summer there, or that my younger daughter might never get to know it at all. Who knows what will come of it. But it's keeping me awake at night. - -Rex "and really even if they sell it to friends of the family, without my parents there, there won't be much reason for me to go back to that town anyway, so now all I can do is imagine myself at 75, hobbled and decrepit, going back to weep over the stump of that tree in some chiarusco-and-red postapocalyptic future, which is maybe a tad melodramatic but hey, man, I'm hurtin' here" Broome ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 11:54:54 -0700 From: "Natalie Jane" Subject: oops The reference to "Uyen puking on me" in my Spoon review is a leftover from when I sent the same review to another list.

I'd guess >the ratio between recorded Beatles covers and live toss-offs is staggering, Well, I wasn't really talking about "live toss-offs." Out of my previously posted list, it looks to me like only 12 of those tracks are live recordings (not including 11 live versions by McCartney himself). It's just that my list seemed stuffed with clueless "Golden Throats"-type butcherings (even moreso, if I had counted my '60s-muzak records) and smart-ass trashings by groups like Bongwater, Butthole Surfers, Das Damen, Eugene Chadbourne, Jad Fair, Laibach, the Pixies, Shockabilly, the Tater Totz, Foetus and the Residents.

Mmmm...this actually might be my favorite track on the I Am Sam disc, surprisingly enough. Some artists whom I like much more (Paul Westerberg, Nick Cave, etc.) let me down a bit. I think Crow kinda torpedoed her credibility with her recent conversion from down-to-earth rootsgirl to tanning-booth, facial-peeled glamourpuss, but I've liked a few of her hits just fine. I liked that one with the "Every day is a winding road" hook (or whatever it says), and I especially liked "If It Makes You Happy."

I love that we put so much effort into trivia and we just get trinkets and candy. Me, I HOPE for second or third or even Best Team Name rather than first place. I mean, what would _I_ do with an entire pitcher of beer? And, just to vent some more about trivia, am I getting sick of the huge teams! My superteam places every single time we all show up (which is pretty rare) and we've only got three people: my former roommate Joshua, our former feg Michael Wolfe, and current me me. But gone are the days when I, or indeed anyone, can place alone. The best I do is at least four or five points from third place. I can, of course, occassionally get Best Team Name from a solo venture. > Well, I guess I knew this would happen if I went to a show at Berbati's, > the venue with the rudest audiences in town. I think any of the bar venues are filled with rude people... particularly when the cover charge is very low. I've seen many great shows at Berbati's (including a pretty nice Robyn show in 1995) and have had the three best nights out at shows at Berbati's (Grant Lee Phillips 2001, Olivia Tremor Control 1999, and The Billy Nayer Show 2000). Granted, Berbati's has also housed the two most crowded shows I've ever attended (Tenacious D 2000 and Squirrel Nut Zippers 1995). Phew, I need to travel again soon.

Plus it means ignoring the last third or so of Wilco's 2002-2003 live sets, which IMO have rocked harder than any iteration of Wilco, even early Wilco with Brian Henneman on board, has rocked before. And ignoring that increasingly noisier *and* increasingly more interesting Tweedy guitar solo on "I'm the Man Who Loves You." And ignoring the Loose Fur album. And ignoring the setlists which her own site documents, so she has to know exactly what they're playing! And... and... ...well, and it's me saying all this.
