Cool! And, as for the whole Elvis McManus thing (my fave EC-semi-slogan from back when: "If your Elvis is dead, try ours!"), when explaining Robyn to newbies, I always tell them that his career song-writing catalogue is rivalled only by (IMHO) Dylan's and Costello's (although I would also entertain arguments for Neil Young...and...on a chartable day, Macca). Loved the "Imperial Bedroom" tour show (back when, while buying beer in East Troy, WI (the town nearest the Alpine Valley venue), we ran into Steve Nieve at the liquor store) and the "Fabulous Spinning Songbook" show (around the time of "B&C" / "King of America"). (BTW...does anyone else recall / credit Elvis for the name / psuedo / "character" "Napoleon Dynamite"? He used it on at least one of those records (think it was "B&C") and used it extensively during the "Songbook" show -- i.e "I gave Daryl Hall his start in the old Napoleon Dynamite Revue," before launching into a medly of Hall's "Dreamtime" and his own "Accidents Will Happen.") ...So, in rambling summary, I'm with ya, Lauren (and subsequent others)...(also -- plannng our Philly trip...see ya there on the 26th).

"song for europe" doesn't hurt either. of course, 'siren' and 'avalon' are the other contenders for that list. roxy music's cohesion is lovely - i love the first one and also the fifth one (which i believe is "siren") for their accord. was it my imagination or was that entire album about drugs? i remember a friend casually saying to me, do you know what he's saying there? and i didn't and she told me: "jungle red's a deadly shade" and to this day i notice that line. it's weird how if i don't know a line for ages and sometime it comes to me, then it stays in mind from then on. another line like this was someone said to me how in the background of "ride", he's saying "but they used to be trees" and to this day, i laugh when i hear that line. also part of the early line in "sweetheart contract" by magazine that says "...on standard-issue sofas under scaffolding" eluded me to the point where i had to buy the cd because it had a lyric sheet which my lp did not have. but now do i ever remember it. > same with david jones. i'll admit that it was 'let's dance' that introduced me to the thin white duke; but i certainly made up for lost time. there's still plenty of room to grow in my bowie collection; but for the list there are several possibilities: hunky dory, ziggy stardust, station to station, low, heroes, lodger, and scary monsters. his last few albums have been above par. i got "david live" on my 12th or 13th birthday, i'm not sure which and i think having that as i believe my first real album had quite an influence on how things went. i liked bowie, the beatles, and elton john (still love "honky chateau" and some others) and perhaps that put in motion my love of the english boys. > >>>i only mention it because ken didn't post last night and that was sad. > and i even made this post "no caps for ken!"<<< > fabulous! thanx. aw shucks. well, to-night too so it's "still no caps for ken!" for the time being. > drink all your blood and chocolate. i have a blood and chocolate story but it's medical and gross so i'll keep walking. > whenever my daughter requests chocolate for her milk, it sounds a little too much like "talk shit". she probably thinks you talk shit too. > maybe the capital letters are compensating? it's a lot of pressure starting off a sentence; but someone's got to be first. and "proper" names? it just screams inferiority complex. there is an certainly appealing casualness to it, at least this late at night. it goes better with thought chatter and it feels i am cluttering up the list less even though last i checked it would be the same number of actual bytes indeed. so perhaps it's time to move on to desert island discs and like you haven't done that x times before but it's nice to revisit the issue kind of like updating your will - situations might have shifted and you will want to be prepared. xo - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 08:44:53 +0000 From: craigie* Subject: Re: songs that are songs that would be " dBs' ", technically.

That would be a really tough one--there are really just too many, and I tend to fixate on certain songs for a while: Beyond Belief, You Little Fool, Crimes of Paris, Suit of Lights, Just a Memory, Two Little Hitlers, No Action, Watching the Detectives, Hand in Hand, Next Time Around, Veronica, Brilliant Mistake, Tiny Steps, Goon Squad, Shot With His Own Gun, Big Tears, Man Out of Time, etc. etc, off the top of my head. I'd have a rough time just reducing it down to a 2 CD favorites set. But it's easy to say that the Blood & Chocolate tour was one of my favorites (the solo tour, with Nick Lowe opening). That was the one when he did a decent length show (about 80 minutes including a really nice medley of New Amsterdam/You've Got to Hide Your Love Away) then came back as "Professor Napoleon Dynamite" and had audience members come up to spin the giant wheel of songs to decide what got played next. All together, show was close to 3 hours long. Just staggeringly great. Marc The fact of the matter is, I'm fucking brilliant. Not 'was' brilliant. 'Am' brilliant.

The sentiments above could almost exactly be applied to the early Bob Dylan-- and indeed, a lotta subsequent crappy music and be blamed on Dylan in general and those tendencies in particular. But the older work of both artists still holds up for me; I've been ignoring newer Farrar material for a few years, and meanwhile new, good Dylan music is actually intentionally funny, so there is that. >>Phooey. Give me Neko Case any day. >No argument there, although I'm sure there are those who bitch about her faux-authenticity too. I do really feel we're in the third or fourth generation of regnerated spooky-rootsiness... I mean, there's a palpable spark of "authenticity" on FOX CONFESSOR when Garth Hudson plays, but the Band themselves were upstart revivalists when they appeared. I think I'm talking in circles now, though... if not some kind of infinitely diminishing Spiral of Authenticity. It should also be noted that there's more than a bit of showbiz in the oldest of old country and mountain tunes, so the alt-country snobbishness thing is false five ways to Sunday, really. You could say the same thing about Gillian Welch. If you want real authentic mountain and coal mine tunes, I suggest Patty Loveless's "Mountain Soul". It's the best non alt-country album since maybe 1986. Patty's father was a coal miner, so all the lyrics ring true. Stunning work with blues grass tunes as well.

Yeah - one reason (other than that it looks bone-numbingly stupid) I've avoided the movie of the same name is that the director implausibly claims Costello's not where he got the name (yeah right)...
