Rex- I'd really like to know what you think... I sort of changed it up and instead of making a short film with 2 different songs I've just condensed the footage into a single music video... I took out the murder of the Bell pepper and the funeral, but mostly cause I originally used U2s October in the original funeral scene and I don't want to deal with music rights. I sort of miss the change in tone that the Vegetable Funeral allowed, so I'm considering putting back the song "Friend Or Hoe" and allowing the Hoe to kill the Bell pepper, but I think this is good for now... Any comments would be appreciated... It was shot on Super 8, transfered to VHS many years ago, so the quality is what it is...

Well, I could make what I would consider a compelling argument for Beck having a more-than-slightly inaccessible "affected" vocal delivery upon occasion, but as for Rilo Kiley, I have never really gotten into them, but I don't find her voice particularly unusual. I guess when I wrote that, I was specifically thinking of Colin Meloy (I think I could actually become a Decemberists fan if someone would teach him how not to sing through his nose -- some of their songs are otherwise quite pretty) and Joanna Newsom (love some of her arrangements, but can only stand her voice in very small doses).

This all seems a bit strange to me, as a teacher of college students in the art/graphic communications field. However, if it's some kind of "imagine I am the client and you are the art director" assignment, it could be this limited. But for a more general course in the arts, it sounds very restrictive. A friend recently turned me on to The Arcade Fire. He figured since I like Black Heart Procession and Calexico, that these guys were somewhere in between. The jury is still out however. My biggest problem is the inability to warm up the the singer yet. Can't decide if he's singing or shouting and his voice reminds me quite a bit of Jello Biafta. Now Biafra's a nice enough guy but he has this totally annoying voice. - - carrie, off at 6am for her all day studio class with 27 eager students "We must develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness." - - Martin Luther King Jr. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2007 11:06:21 -0400 From: "Stewart C.

Embedded within the PPG shows and film are at least 3 extended lifts from "The Big Lebowski": the opening in the supermarket, "that rug really tied the room together", and the mayor by the fireside delivering the "Do my tears shock you?" speech.

I have some pretty damned rare Beck stuff (some of it digitized from really limited-run vinyl). Oddly, I don't love "Sea Change" that much... "Mutations" was the peak for me, and none of the subsequent "party" records came close to "Odelay", and at some point the Hand of L. Ron got to be a bit much for me. Not that he totally went to hell, just sort of lost me. >That limitation strikes me as very odd (you probably remember that I teach >college students also). It's somewhere between Taste Nazism and Pathetic Need for Approval of One's Individuality by Enforcing it on Others By Making Them Conform...

I dunno if I'd say this alone is worth the price of the whole set, especially for someone not familiar with Mike Keneally, but, if you want to hear a big, fat, tear-the-walls-down fun version of Immigrant Song played with glee by a four-piece of some of the ballsiest musicians around, there's an (unlisted - -in-the-tracklisting-but-it's-there-believe-me) live version of it on the Mike Keneally Band's _Guitar Therapy Live_ special edition bonus DVD: http://store.moosemart.com/servlet/Detail?no=18 Really, this is monstrous. Think of a band with the bombast of Led Zep or Crazy Horse on the Live Rust tour, but the chops to rip through the 13/8 sections of Zappa's Inca Roads at very high tempo with tight precision, and the attitude of "if more is better, too much is just right." (Keneally was stunt-guitarist in Zappa's last touring band, drummer Joe Travers is touring with Dweezil's Zappa-Plays-Zappa band.) There are other live versions from the same tour in trade circulation - - let me know if you dig hearing it. d9 ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #336 ********************************
