But as I thought about it, I realized that there's little to no correlation between the album I first discovered and which one ended up being my favorite. Some examples, beginning with Our Man Robyn: Robyn Hitchcock first - Fegmania! fave - I Often Dream of Trains R.E.M. first - Murmur fave - Document Uncle Tupelo/Wilco/Son Volt/Jay Farrar first - Being There fave - Summerteeth Momus first - The Little Red Songbook fave - The Philosophy of Momus Wire first - Pink Flag (but way late - '88 or '89) fave - A Bell Is a Cup Roxy/Ferry first - Flesh + Blood fave - Stranded Richard Thompson first - Shoot Out the Lights fave - Daring Adventures Yo La Tengo first - Painful fave - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One Prince first - Dirty Mind fave - Parade Game Theory/Loud Family first - Lolita Nation fave - Lolita Nation OK, that last one didn't fit, plus I excepted groups like the Kinks and Beatles where my first purchases were "best of" comps rather than proper albums (KINKS KRONIKLES and the Red collection, respectively). But for the most part, doesn't seem like I automatically favor the first purchase. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2003 11:35:16 +1300 From: grutness@surf4nix.com (James Dignan) Subject: Grading the dirt in Guildford >Excellent stuff.

In fact, one of >>the strengths of the show was that B.C. outdoor locations could look like >>lots of places, whereas Southern California looked like... well, Southern >>California. You don't have to tell me about it. To the credit of the production designers of modern Hollywood, they have learned to make Mulholland Drive look like something other than Mullholland Drive on occasion... compare even that year of the X-Files with '70's shows allegedly set around DC (Wonder Woman and I think those Bionic Persons shows). But that doesn't mean they always succeed in making it look like what it's *supposed* to be. >>I also thought the lighting, another long-time strength of THE X-FILES, went >>all to hell when production moved to SoCal. I guess the key guys were local >>to the Canadian film industry. I kinda hate to admit you're right, since I know people who worked on the show down here (lighting and scenic folks), but I don't blame them. They all said that the budget and egos were completely out of control at that point and nobody knew what they were doing in the least. I'd say the evidence is strong that they were right. >>Do you automatically look at any "state puzzle" thing to see if WV is on it, and >>if it's shaped correctly, and if it's got its own piece? I know Melissa and I do. Damned straight I do. Plus when I lived in France, one of my host family members had gone to school in the states and never heard of West Virginia. I had to break out a map and show her... oddly it was called "Virginie Occidentale", which I though had a nice classy ring to it.

Just curious, since I've been through WV a time or two myself ;) Miles already namedropped it: Keyser. The Friendliest City in the USA. Says so right there on the sign that has all the crests of the Kiwanis and VFW and Moose Club and such like. County seat of Mineral County, the only county in the state named after, ummm, a mineral. Nearest point that anyone's ever heard of: the aforementioned site of my birth, Cumberland, MD, which I've just been reminded is probably best known as the location where the zombies in Night of the Living Dead are first reported to be eating the flesh of their victims.

Sort of a throaty overemphasis. Oh god, that's so fucking annoying. He does that a lot now. I don't know whether it's due to failing vocal cords or just a new mannerism, but it really spoils some of his songs for me. >- -Granted, "Cheese Alarm" isn't just a list of cheeses (my bad), It's a >list of cheeses with a political statement at the end. The intro is dull >and noodly and doesn't add to the song for me. And I don't need >Robyn telling me about overconsumption--I see it all around me. That song is so trite. It's like he just wanted to write a goofy song but felt compelled to tack a "message" onto the end. Granted, he does have good taste in cheese. So I visited the money pit known as Amoeba Records in San Francisco over Thanksgiving weekend, as I do every year, and this year came up with a cornucopia of purchases (and the rare opportunity to use the word "cornucopia" in a sentence). I've listened to all of them once and now present you with some cursory reviews... Television - Adventure Not the re-issue, but a used copy. Inevitably it's not as good as Marquee Moon, but there's some songs on it I really like, like "Glory" and "Ain't That Nothin'," and I always enjoy hearing Tom Verlaine's "strangled chicken" voice. Nice production also (insofar as I am a judge of such things). The Postal Service - Such Great Heights EP Apparently they're now known as "T.P.S." because the U.S. Postal Service is threatening legal action. This consists of the title song (from their album), a new song, and two terrific covers by the Shins and Iron & Wine, showing what a great stable Sub Pop has these days. Good stuff. Scud Mountain Boys - Massachusetts Joe Pernice's old band, with more of an alt-country "flava" than the Pernice Brothers' lush pop. I maintain that Pernice is one of the best songwriters around, though I think the Pernice Bros.' music serves better to anchor his whisper-thin vocals. "Grudgefuck" is a classic. Flaming Lips - Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell EP I like the original songs on here, but the re-mixes - one by Jimmy Tamborello of "T.P.S." - don't quite work for me - the electronic sounds don't really match Wayne Coyne's heartfelt vocals and big melodies. The Christmas song is kind of trite, but most Christmas songs are. Gastr del Sol - Camofleur This is so different from the music I usually listen to that it almost seems like ethnic music from some unknown culture. I guess it's "post-rock," whatever that means. A lot of it is really pretty, and I like the way the lyrics don't rhyme or scan. I still need to get used to it, though. Jim O'Rourke - Happy Days It's all one track, and starts out with some very minimal but pleasant guitar and piano, and then about ten minutes in, degenerates into a one-note discordant drone which went on and on and on till finally I turned it off in exasperation. I don't "get" music like this. It makes me feel dumb. So anyway, I don't need to buy any more records for a while. that's all, n. p.s. I just took my 30-page intrapartum final exam today, so I can tell you all about different *kinds* of placenta... circumvallata, succenturiate, vaso previa, and oh, the fun goes on and on. :P We got to look at real ones in class, too! _________________________________________________________________ From the hottest toys to tips on keeping fit this winter, youll find a range of helpful holiday info here. http://special.msn.com/network/happyholidays.armx ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2003 19:05:07 -0500 From: "Grunty" Subject: Re: feh i live in Virginia, we don't throw bricks..........only placenta, frozen and carefully stored of course (man, i may just get bricks thrown at me for that one!)

I haven't been following. Did anyone get "Snoopy versus the Red Baron"? by The Royal Guardsmen? Or "Two headed dog" by Roky Erikson and the Aliens? And as I'm the only Michael Chapman fan on the list, no-one else will have submitted "Dog's got more sense than to sit in the rain (but he can't play rock and roll)" "Bitch" by the Rolling Stones? In "Baby Please Don't Go", Van Morrison sings a dog verse. Does that count? And I assume this is the one which started the rot? "Well I raised a dawg and his name was Blue 'N I betcha five dollars he's a good one too Come back Blue, you good dawg you Come back Blue, you good dawg you" Versions by the Byrds, Peter Paul and Mary, and Nana Mouskouri. Singalong MIDI version here: - - Mike Godwin PS Saw that 'Spellbound' the other night. Crazy stuff - people who could do really long words but couldn't spell crassly easy stuff like 'hellebore', 'kirtle' and 'banns'. And when I googled 'heleoplankton' I was not surprised to find plenty of other people agreed that it was outrageous to disallow 'helioplankton'. Stewart, have you seen it? n.p.
