I've heard a lotta "meh" and a few really enthusiastic near-raves about it.

Is it possible to donate one's body to science, like, literally? As in not to scientists who may or may not use it sensibly or in the name of project, but just to science, the very idea of the thing? That's what I'd like to do. Because like you can trust scientists. - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 08:50:06 -0700 From: JBJ Subject: Re: Mini-Reviews On May 19, 2006, at 8:04 AM, Spotted Eagle Ray wrote: > > I've heard a lotta "meh" and a few really enthusiastic near-raves > about it. > Makes me in some ways more curious than hearing it was a > continuation of the > last two records. I didn't care for "Yoshimi" too much, and I don't like this entire new album, but there are some moments of genius on here. "Yeah Yeah Yeah Song", "Radical", "Ambulance Driver" and "W.A.N.D" are probably the standout tracks for me. jbj ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 11:30:10 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Mini-Reviews On May 19, 2006, at 8:50 AM, JBJ wrote: > On May 19, 2006, at 8:04 AM, Spotted Eagle Ray wrote: >> >> I've heard a lotta "meh" and a few really enthusiastic near-raves >> about it. >> Makes me in some ways more curious than hearing it was a >> continuation of the >> last two records. > > I didn't care for "Yoshimi" too much, and I don't like this entire > new album, but there are some moments of genius on here.

Mystics is in constant rotation though; "Vein Of Stars" is a standout for me. - -tc, today celebrating 15 years of marriage to the greatest woman in the world. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 13:51:09 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Explorin' I've been diddling Amazon's recommendations system lately...below are some "oldies" they have suggested for me.

[For those up for it, "Happy Hour" are Roger, Alex, Paul and Phil, and if you were in Oxford for the gig organised by Matt a couple of years ago you will have seen Alex and Rog on stage already. They play fab gear Beatles, Joe Turner, Fats Domino and 60s hits. A fun night guaranteed for all!] n.p.

A surprising number of Donovan songs have been covered over the years, although most are from his more rocking side.

I'd go for one of the "best of" albums with all their hits. Sing Hollies in Reverse is an excellent covers album. There are a good many Hollies TV clips on YouTube.
