The over/under on the number of bad garage bands formed in the next 3 years called Animatronic Jesus is now raised to 983. Odds of one of those bands becoming good remain at nil. ===== "Life is just a series of dogs." -- George Carlin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

An autopsy report appears to leave the nature of Smith's death, which was initially called a suicide by Los Angeles police, an open question. The body of Smith -- who earned an Oscar nomination and widespread notice for his 1997 single "Miss Misery" from the film "Good Will Hunting" -- was found in October at his Los Angeles home by the musician's live-in girlfriend. Coroner's spokesman David Campbell said Smith, 34, died from two "penetrating stab wounds" to the chest. "The trauma that he sustained could have been inflicted by him or by another and the coroner has not been able to make a determination," Campbell said. Campbell said toxicology tests found no illegal or controlled substances in Smith's system. The singer was apparently taking anti-depressants and medication for attention deficit disorder at the time of his death but was not abusing them, Campbell said. He said the case would remain open and that coroner's officials would revisit their findings if additional information surfaced. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said homicide detectives also would "look again" at Smith's death following the autopsy report. He said the case was initially reported to the LAPD as a suicide. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 15:47:26 -0500 From: Christopher Hintz Subject: Who Knew? Not me!

I recorded it on minidisc, but haven't gotten around to doing ANYTHING with those discs (including listening to them!) since I made them two and a half years ago. I have three mp3s from the event. Paul doing Flesh Cartoons, Colin (Meloy; Decembrist) doing Messages Of Dark, and Jen Bernard doing Raining Twilight Coast. All three are solo acoustic and quite good. Vivien, gNat, Ross and the Countess did a couple of rousing full band electric diddies to end the show. They tore off the roof, as many said.

[I hoped 2004 would be better than 2003, but now I find out the Anti-Christ is coming!] The year 2004 is a leap year, having 366 days: 366 = 6 * 61 The number 61 is prime and 6/1 is June 1 in American notation, the blessed birthday of Our Lady Heidi Klum in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, near Cologne. 6/1 also stands for January 6 in European notation, the feast day of the Three Magi, whose tombs are in the Dom, Cologne's Cathedral. I expect many important things to happen in the leap year 2004, not excluding the possibility that the Anti-Christ (AC) will make his appearance on the World stage. This might take place around the time of the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, at the time of a Blue Full Moon in August.

WHO'S NEXT - For Greg Lake.. 11/24/2003 10:35:43 AM Guitarist Pete Townshend and vocalist Roger Daltrey recruit Greg Lake to help complete the next album by The Who. Greg Lake has just completed a week of recording in London with Guitarist/ songwriter Pete Townshend and vocalist Roger Daltrey cutting material scheduled to be part of the next Who album. Also involved in the sessions were longtime Who musicians, drummer Zak Starkey, keyboardist John "Rabbit' Bundick and guitarist Simon Townshend (Pete's brother). "I was asked by Roger Daltrey to participate in his benefit concert for the National Teenage Cancer Trust last month with an great band made of other musicians such as Gary Moore, Gary Brooker, Simon Townshend and others," says Lake. "And, of course, we did a healthy amount of Who classics in the show. A week later, Roger called me at home and asked if I was interested in playing bass on the next sessions for The Who. I immediately said 'yes,' since The Who were among the bands I have always admired. Being asked to play with them has been a tremendous honor and wonderful experience, although filling the shoes of the late John Entwistle has not been easy. He was one of the greatest bassists of all time." Although it is not clear how many additional Who recordings will feature Lake on bass or whether he will tour with the band in the future, Lake completed his work on one new Who song entitled "Good Looking Boy." On the official Peter Townsend and Who websites, Townshend issued the following entry in his diary: "Looks like we're on.. Greg Lake filled in beautifully. Smashing fellow. Zak, Rabbit and my brother Simon played brilliantly and Roger and I were bloody useless. But what do you expect of two such creaky old tossers? I am back in my own studio again preparing songs and visual material for some kind of future project, which I hope will provide a pathway of some kind for Roger and me in the future. Whatever happens, Roger and I are facing our 'new' Everly Brothers format with excitement and trepidation. I sense great chaotic madness ahead.......Is that good?" Lake also continues to finish his own solo album and has also resumed work on other projects. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V12 #476 ********************************
