It's lots of fun in moderation but then it seems to short out precisely the part of the brain that deals in concepts like moderation, which is why we no longer have Lowell George, Harry Nilsson and a few other beloved characters... np: the voodoo sounds of Miles Davis In Concert @ Philharmonic Hall (1972). (Also Stiv Bators, but I wasn't counting him as "beloved".) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 14:40:20 -0700 From: "Stacked Crooked" Subject: Oooops new john fogerty = suckage. on the other hand, new beirut = second-coming of neutral milk hotel. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:27:23 -0400 From: "Stewart C.

Wouldn't quite go that far, Eddie, but it is the shit (as you would say) and no mistake. It's rather short, though. (If you like Beirut, and want some real NMH content, A Hawk & A Hacksaw's "The Way The Wind Blows" is amazing, and makes Mr Condon's work look a little tame.) In Rainbows is pretty excellent. The release that's really got me psyched is the new one from Ken Reaume (), a local lad who does the Nick Drake/Elliott Smith thing (no, not the being dead thing) very well.

That's just amazing. I'm awestruck. From Revelation 1: 16. He made 7 cookies in hiz rite hand an a sword in hiz mouf. Also, hiz face was totally bright, like a sun. Srsly. 17. When I seez him, I almost died. Teh dood touched me an sez, "Don't be skeerd." 18. Also, he sez, "I be Baby Jesus an Im totally alive 4evr! Also, I can has key to Hell." Feckin' brilliant. On this end, the wife and I are freshly back from 10 days eating our way across the north of France. Didn't see any rugby matches but did run into loads of Irish supporters and Australian tourists, which could be interpreted as actually having attended a match after all. Sorry and all that to James, Stewart et al about their nations going out, but I was rooting for them! (on a TV that needed a wine corkscrew jammed in the back to improve reception, which seems tres French). And on the topic of new music, I wonder what they're putting in the water down in Charlottesville. First Paul Curreri, and now this http://www.myspace.com/keithandjennifermorris . Feckin' brilliant. Michael P.s. I didn't eat any stinky cheese while there, so no Cheese Alarm. Kathy had plenty, but I didn't hum the song for her as we were stuck on "Les Boys" for most of the trip. P.p.s. But did bring home a pack of Novacetol, their equivalent to Solpadeine. Very nice, though at Euro 6.50 for 24 it ought to be! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:02:14 EDT From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: david bowie on spongebob 11/11/07 _http://www.davidbowie.com/news/index.php?id=20071005_ (http://www.davidbowie.com/news/index.php?id=20071005) Bowie _guests on SpongeBob SquarePants_ (http://www.davidbowie.com/news/index.php?id=20071005) on November 11.

I'd add James Honeyman Scott to theis list. Pete Farndon (also of the first Pretenders line-up) succumbed to cocaine OD as well, but not such a great loss musically... (this is not to denigrate his loss or bassplayers in general, though) Wasn't The Ox also a coca casualty? c* On 11/10/2007, kevin wrote: > > >Cocaine's a hell of a drug! > > It's lots of fun in moderation but then it seems to short out precisely > the part of the brain that deals in concepts like moderation, which is why > we no longer have Lowell George, Harry Nilsson and a few other beloved > characters... > > np: the voodoo sounds of Miles Davis In Concert @ Philharmonic Hall > (1972). > > > (Also Stiv Bators, but I wasn't counting him as "beloved".) > - -- first things first, but not necessarily in that order... ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #366 ********************************
