He sounded really good on the radio > a couple of nights ago. Another vote here for Mr. Harcourt. I saw him twice about two years back and he put on a lovely show both times. One time he played at what used to be The Main Point, a very small club outside Philadelphia and I believe the second time he was opening for Neil Finn. He hides behind his hair, his piano, and his beer. I didn't get the impression that he loves performing, but he does a nice job of it nevertheless. His heart seemed either a bit broken, or like it was about to be broken. I have his first two albums which seem indistinguishable from one another enough that I always just play the first one (I think it's called "Here Be Monsters".) And I've heard good things about his new collection. Personally, I really like his voice. Plus he plays piano - - admittedly my "guys with guitars" album collection can use the break from time to time. xo Lauren - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 14:54:22 +0000 (GMT) From: Michael R Godwin Subject: RE: fegmaniax-digest V14 #252 Thanks, Michael.

Fox has cut back its episode order on the critically-admired "Arrested" to just 13 segs, down from 22. Producers of "Kitchen," meanwhile, have been told the show won't be getting a full-season pickup. More worrisome: Fox is pulling both shows from the schedule, effective immediately. "Arrested" returned from a month-long hiatus this week, while "Kitchen" was slated to return Monday. Instead of the two laffers, Fox will air repeats of drama "Prison Break" in the 8-9 p.m. Monday slot for the rest of the November sweeps. It's presumed "Arrested" and "Kitchen" will return to finish out the remainder of their runs in December. Come January, net has long planned to move "House" into the Monday slot. Fox wasn't commenting Thursday morning, and for now, nobody's using the word "cancellation." But in the case of "Arrested," the handwriting appears to be on the wall. While numbers for "Arrested" were underwhelming this week, it's worth noting that a number of returning laffers -- including Fox's "Stacked" -- aren't doing much better. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 17:59:48 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Mm hmm On 11/10/05, Eb wrote: > 'Arrested,' 'Kitchen' cut back > Fox pulls both shows from sked > > By JOSEF ADALIAN > It's not looking good for "Arrested Development" or frosh laffer > "Kitchen Confidential." What do these shows have to do with that '80s-vogue economist and his curve? (God where the hell is this from - do they have any idea how irritating the word "laffer" is - or "sked" for that matter?

Ick.) Gotta be one of the industry dailies, Variety or Hollywood Reporter. They still write that way. In fact the big TV screen at the corner of Hollywood & Highland scrolls Reporter headlines for everyone driving by to see, in exactly such industryspeak. Probably baffiling for tourists (or perhaps theoretical exotic?), but pretty much blindly accepted by locals.

Yes...it's the album's biggest stinker. Maybe Woj can forward all our comments to the Bush newsgroup. ;) Eb ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 23:03:52 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Mm hmm On 11/10/05, Eb wrote: > > On 11/10/05, Eb wrote: > >> 'Arrested,' 'Kitchen' cut back > >> Fox pulls both shows from sked > >> > >> By JOSEF ADALIAN > >> It's not looking good for "Arrested Development" or frosh laffer > >> "Kitchen Confidential." > > (God where the hell is this from - do they have any idea how > > irritating the word "laffer" is - or "sked" for that matter?
