I just finished the first 2 seasons of Veronica Mars (as well as watching s3, so what with all the flashbacks that was an extremely non-linear experience) and as soon as my eyes stop hurting I'll be watching BSG from the beginning.

The original 365 Days project featured a great found cassette of a radio program "expose" on the whole thing, dating obviously to 1978 as the incidental threatening-conspiracy music was the theme to Close Encounters.

I stand corrected. I had that one as well and now I recall that switcheroo, too. Hmmm... what was up with the brown-vs.-blue spine thing anyway, then? Fortunately for me the CD's started coming out before I amassed all the cassettes, so for the most part the Beatles records have always been the UK versions, and Past Masters 1&2 (Past Masters 2 being a damned fine record, actually). > it really takes a special kind of cool to hate the beatles. it starts > with hating yourself i imagine. I only take that comment seriously coming from people who do not like anything influenced by the Beatles, which, generally speaking rock-wise, is everything. Otherwise they are most likely poseurs. I suppose that it is more possible with each passing year, as kids can now actually cut their teeth on rock music in the form of stuff like Blackened (hee) Metal which doesn't betray many Beatlisms, but it's still suspicious. (Of course people tell me the same thing about stuff that's not my bag, like later Floyd or the Eagles or whatever, so maybe I'm a poseur, too.) - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 12:22:05 EST From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: SXSW Direct TV: an interview with the legendary Robyn Hitchcock _http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_vie w &newsId=20070308006152&newsLang=en_ (http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_vie w&newsId=20070308006152&newsLang=en) March 08, 2007 07:28 PM Eastern Time DIRECTV Unveils All-Star Line Up of Artists for First-Ever Live Broadcast of South By Southwest, Exclusively on The 101 Artists Include Iggy Pop, Pete Townshend, Perry Farrell, Rachel Fuller, Bowling for Soup, Get Cape.

Nigel definitely. Would anyone really like the Hub better anyway? The best scenes IMO are the ones with Marti interviewing the band or talking to individual members. I wonder if that movie will ever seem dated; I can't really imagine it. I just found out that Christopher Guest is married to Jamie-Lee Curtis but I still have no idea what he really looks like which seems just as well (admittedly I am missing the part of the brain that can identify actors when they put on wigs - I actually go better recognizing them by voice which doesn't much help in the case of Mr. Guest.) xo - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 09:49:50 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: npr's ode to metal On 3/8/07, ken ostrander wrote: > > > has anyone else been subjected to the rock and roll religious scarefest? Oh, hells yes. I had friends give up on rock and roll forevar (except for the Christian variety, which sounded the same except for (mostly) not as good (although they wouldn't give me their record collections because that would be like giving me drugs or something)). It seems like I'm just shilling for 365 today, but here: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/01/365_days_1_the_.html#more My very favoritest part is the Bow Wow Wow segment. Elsewhere this guy plays things backwards to reveal Satanic messages, but he does something really teh awesome with Bow Wow Wow... maybe it's reflective of how much easier it is to play with audio now than it was at the time, or maybe the guy's just even more clueless than seems possible, but... well, he plays this song by BWW called "Prince of Darkness", which, I mean, it's pretty obviously what that would be about, and it is in fact, it's a giant troll for folks just like him, featuring the lyrics "Open the door, and let Satan in!", which are clearly audible. But then, amidst some goofiness about the beat being associated with demonic possession, the guy plays excerpts from it that he says he booked studio time to *slow them down*. NOT because it reveals any hidden messages, but because, apparently, they *sound scarier* that way-- and he does this as if it makes some enormous chilling point, when it would seem rather obvious that, hell, Pat Boone sounds like Satan if you play him at the wrong speed. Coincidentally, I just got into Bow Wow Wow this year after hearing "Aprhodisiac" in MARIE ANTOINETTE-- before that I'd dismissed them as gimmicky new wave lightweights, and I've really changed my tune. But I am still occasionally squicked out by the overt sexualization of the waaaayyy underage Anabella Lwin (although I love her performances). The evangelist guy mentions this too, but only as the briefest of asides... it is of course far worse that Bow Wow Wow uses beats from-- oh noes!-- Africa. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 09:53:22 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: In Larry David News To-day...

I can't keep up with these award things, but "Independent Spirit Awards" sounds like a celebration of Native American talent. I generally do not like talking to well-known people unless I would have an actual reason to talk to them. I think what makes me uncomfortable is the feeling that I have to kind of "make something up" in order to talk to them. I would be fine with a naturally-flowing conversation but that usually doesn't happen all by itself. I caught the NAACP award show last week and found they have a token white guy who is (at least this year) Bono. He gave a kind of weird speech that made me wonder how well known the NAACP is known outside the U.S.A. (i.e. growing up admiring the NAACP - not that there isn't something to admire, just wondered if there's something I don't know about how much exposure he would have as a young Irish lad.) RE: Jamie Lee-Curtis - I had guy two friends in high school that I would occasionally argue with about whether JLC has large breasts**. They were quite insistent that she does indeed. It seems to me that it varies (at least in appearance) by movie. Regardless (obviously), JLC is cool in my book. xo ** we talked pretty much all the time so odds were, we would eventually hit this thrilling topic of discussion. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2007 18:12:58 +0000 From: hssmrg@bath.ac.uk Subject: Re: Kylie, Lit, VU, Beatles Well, its mega-celeb day in Bath: But I went to see Howard Jacobson launch his new novel: http://www.bathlitfest.org.uk/g2-fine-fiction-howard-jacobson.html He was great and he was quite prepared to tell you so. I am the Jewish Jane Austen he proclaimed. We had a brief but interesting conversation about trainspotting. Will Hutton was passionate about the rise of China last night, and Ted Honderich was on wrathful form condemning Tony Blair on Wednesday. And Marina Lewycka is speaking tomorrow (her Short history of tractors in Ukrainian has a good answer to the question: 'what good did Stalin ever do'*). Shameless plug: my mate David Lewis has his new CD out: I will be very interested to hear those VU mp3s, but I am going to have to psych myself up for it. The commentary does seem to indicate that the conscious excision of blues influences came between the acetate and the final recording, which is fascinating. I tend to agree with Stewart that the Beatles were a boy band who got lucky, but the ultimate test is survival, which they seem to have passed better than the Animals (my favourites) or the Kinks (my wifes favourites). I used to have 2 Beatles LPs but my stepdaughter lent Revolver to a neighbour and of course I never saw it again. Believe me, if you find those variable track listings on the Beatles albums confusing, the Stones ones are ruddy impossible. - - Mike Godwin PS Im thinking of buying a new turntable since my mate Nick bought me Neverland on vinyl but I cant stretch to $9000 for a laser turntable.
