Kirkwood underwent surgery for an abdominal wound at a local hospital and was listed in critical condition over the weekend. Witnesses said Kirkwood got into an argument with a woman when they both tried to pull into the same parking spot. When Kirkwood continued to shout obscenities at the woman on the way into the post office, she reported him to the building's security guard, who asked Kirkwood to leave the premises. http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=205 8260 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 08:56:56 -0500 From: Ken Weingold Subject: REAP Earl Hindman.

I think it's just seasonal, though -- holidays 'n' all. Lots of things being said on the list right up until last week. Speaking of which, I haven't had time to compose a thoughtful reply to Jeme (re: our last exchange on the list), but that's #2 on my Feg "to do" list -- #1 is to write back to Randi, which I'm going to do... now. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 15:09:56 -0500 From: FSThomas Subject: Re: REAP Eb wrote: > Anyone else struck by the incongruity of this dwindling list being > kept alive by death notices? ;) Incongruity? Seems more like a happy coincidence.

Offlist, that is. Just for the heck of it, here's my top 20 of 2003 list as it stands, with a lot more stuff (Radiohead & eels, to name two prominent examples) needing more plays before I can slot 'em. Consider it a rough draft... 1) Wire, SEND 2) Todd Steed & the Suns of Phere, KNOXVILLE TELLS 3) Glossary, HOW WE HANDLE OUR MIDNIGHTS 4) Nadine, STRANGE SEASONS 5) The New Pornographers, ELECTRIC VERSION 6) Cobra Verde, EASY LISTENING 7) Richard Thompson, THE OLD KIT BAG 8) Dressy Bessy, DRESSY BESSY 9) Ted Leo/Pharmacists, HEARTS OF OAK 10) Fischerspooner, #1 11) Outkast, SPEAKERBOXXX/THE LOVE BELOW 12) Scott Miller & the Commonwealth, UPSIDE/DOWNSIDE 13) Neil Young & Crazy Horse, GREENDALE 14) Fleetwood Mac, SAY YOU WILL 15) Blur, THINK TANK 16) The White Stripes, ELEPHANT 17) Lucinda Williams, WORLD WITHOUT TEARS 18) Jason Ringenberg, A DAY AT THE FARM WITH FARMER JASON 19) Anton Barbeau, KING OF MISSOURI 20) Yo La Tengo, SUMMER SUN Where's LUXOR? Bubbling around #25, with all the other '03 disappointments (DOWN WITH WILCO, OSKAR TENNIS CHAMPION, I'M STAYING OUT, TERROIR BLUES), and not likely to climb. By contrast, even though I praised it with faint damns, NEXTDOORLAND ended up a very strong #9 last year. later, Miles ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V12 #475 ********************************
