Yeah, that is a problem. Personally, I think the best director depends on which story is being adapted. Cronenberg comes to mind for some of the more personal stories, but Guillermo del Toro could do a good job on the wackier ones. I think Ridley Scott -- in his PRIME -- would have done a kick-ass "Mountains of Madness." (With sets by Giger, of course.)

IIRC, Peter Green got slipped some bad LSD from some whacked out Germans, and had some hellish bad trip and resulting nightmares. He wrote Green Manalishi as a result of the harrowing nightmares that he had after the bad trip. So you are correct in saying that it's not your usual Fleetwood Mac.

I love Squeeze. Well, I'm generally more of a "pop" guy than a "rock" guy. Witty wordpay, catchy melodies and some surprising good guitar work. I do think their best albums have heart, but I understand what Eb says about the craftsmanship, since it is the most foremost aspect of their work it stiffens them up a bit compared to a lot of thier contempories. UK Squeeze - Wierd, not actually good, but I kinda like it anyway. Cool For Cats - Great little record, first of theirs I bought, for "Up The Junction." Argybargy - Their best album I think. The reason for the Lennon/McCartney comparisons is this disc. East Side Story - Almost as good as Argybargy. I saw "Tempted" being used to sell jeans recently. Ick. Singles 45s and Under - What to get if you only want one Squeeze disc. Sweets From A Stranger - A rather stiff, detached album, but ok. Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti - Pretty good album.

Later Squeeze is good on a completely different level IMO. The musicianship is enhanced, but having Difford sing less hurts. I love his deep smooth voice -often better than Glen's tenor.

By law, all albums featuring Kurt Weill songs have "Mack the Knife" on them... If it was sung and played by everyone under the sun, and it prominently featured sort of slightly avant jazz/folk/skronk/pop, it was probably _Lost in the Stars_, one of those wonderful Hal Willner-led allstar affairs. Don't know if it's still in print, but it certainly should be. There was an inferior release called _September Songs_, but I think that didn't come out till the '90s sometime... - ------------------------------- ...Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: Solipsism is its own reward :: :: --Crow T.

Which is odd because they really fit the mold of some of my favorite bands, the latter-day guitar pop thing with two strong songwriters trading off (Go-Betweens, dB's, etc. etc.)... perhaps my block is the fact that Paul Carrack sings one of their biggest hits, which I never understood. I first heard that song *after* the whole Mike & the Mechanics thing... shudder... so yeah, that might be it.

It was singlehandedly responsible for my conversion to extreme Neil fandom. I was maybe 16, and while I was roots- and folk-conversant, my big things were punk, post-punk, college-rock, etc. A friend had made me a tape of "Decade" and I was kinda digging it, but far from sure about the whole stoner vibe thing... and I was listening to that tape on my iPod... I mean, Walkman... on this interminable Greyhound trip down to Florida with the High School marching band, and I was drifting off to a near-sleep state when "Cortez" came on, and it just burrowed into my brain... I heard it as, like, the earthy version of Television or something. The guitars just sounded perfect, and the lyrics had such an incredible evocative economy to them. "Tired Eyes" had a similar effect. Boring story, but a real musical watershed moment for me. There are lots of versions of it by Neil himself, and I never tire of any of them. The Church did a nice version as well. And some other guy whose last name starts with "M" was later to write an otherwise unrelated but not half bad song called "Cortex the Killer". Who was that guy?
