Yeah, and I say that as someone who, for the most part, thinks that Zappa is too full of his own shit to bother with. I do hope they are going to speed up the release of the old SNL seasons a bit, rather than having to wait until next December to Netflix Season 3. "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W.

I'll give Ringo this: at least he's not hauling his carcass around various barns and fairgrounds, with a couple of guitarists, a bass player, and a small orchestra, calling himself "Ringo's Beatles" or something. Still, the massive rush of anticipation that occurs when someone mentions that Ringo's releasing a new record can only be compared to that accompanying the news that there's a guy in an office and he's wearing a suit. I'll drop all the rest of my present affairs and devote my attention to that! But: Ringo is a hell of a drummer, one of the most distinctive stylists around - and very influential as well. I hear "Ringo" fills all the time, sometimes in obvious homage, other times jsut because they've become part of the drum vocabulary. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 18:38:17 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: daring to be . . .BOWIE or NEIL YOUNG On 12/11/07, Rex wrote: > > > Let's just say "2007, where 2007 = also the release year for the new My > Bloody Valentiene album.

I suppose, oh, you know, > only the most universally well-regarded catalog of the rock era. Just that. Of course that'll sell in perpetuity. But since the original Beatles CD's, all music in the world (except for two Neil Young records and one World Party album... erm, never mind that last one) has been remastered and re-released except for only the most universally well-regarded catalog of the rock era. Instead they've managed to mark time with increasingly weirder reconfigurations of Anthologies, that "1" thing, the singles boxes and American versions, the Yellow Sub "songtrack", and that Vegas show mashup collection, not to mention the constant mysterious cock-tease of when their catalog will be "available online" (because it is really hard to find Beatles music online, amirite?). People eat it right up, and the demand for those remasters is pretty damned high, and it'll be a big deal when it happens, but I think that's pretty much the end of the line as far as repackages go (except for, as you say, the move to a new format). Perhaps I underestimate the efficiency of the Beatles machine. Perhaps I'm just slightly sad that people will buy the same (admittedly wonderful) Beatles records over and over again and never once give a listen to the contemporary bands and albums of the time that are easily in the same league... I wonder how many "Sgt. Pepper's"s have been sold for each one copy of, say, "Village Green Preservation Society". Doesn't matter.

Russell" Subject: best of 2007 The ten best albums I heard this year, in alphabetical order: * The Aliens b Astronomy For Dogs: add a Lone Pigeon to a few remaining Betas, and the result is funkiness. This album has more earworms than is safe. They are even better live. * Animal Collective b Strawberry Jam: I pretty much have to be alone and sitting down to listen to this. "For Reverend Green" especially; itbs all involuntary limb movements, sinuses exploding with joy (this probably doesnbt happen to you, I hope), and ullulating 'Oo oo weeuh yeh b& ee yeh yeh' etc for me. Other Animals didnbt do so badly either this year: Panda Bearbs "Person Pitch" was joyful, and even the bafflingly backwards "Pullhair Rubeye" from Avey and Kria had something. * Colleen b The Golden Morning Breaks (2005): very sparse but beautiful notes. "Ibll Read You a Story" is the sound that angels make. * A Hawk And A Hacksaw And The Hun Hangar Ensemble: featuring magyar madness, crafty cimbalom, and the only piece of bagpipe music that wonbt make you want to hack your ears off with a meat cleaver. Itbs doubly nice that it features Zach Condon actually playing with his heroes, rather than just trying to sound like them. * Ideal Free Distribution: lush 60s rhythm and harmonies, with a ton of mellotron laid on top. Poppy enough that no-one Ibve played it to doesnbt like it. * Dan Jones and The Squids b Totally Human: Dan has clearly listened to a lot of both Robyn Hitchcock and The Minutemen, and has come up with a noisy but thoughtful album, which we play all the time. * Old Man Luedecke b Hinterland (2006): merge sly alt.country lyrics with pretty clawhammer banjo, and youbve got the Old Man. Bonus points for coupling the words boracular bentb in a song, and getting away with it, too. * Ken Reaume b Four Horses: Ken quite modestly compares himself to Elliott Smith and Nick Drake. Hebs easily the equal of both. Beautiful fingerpicking and whispered confessional lyrics. * Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter b Like, Love, Lust, & The Open Halls of the Soul: youbll fall for Jessebs world-weary lisp and the drawling psych guitar. I did (and unfortunately discovered her other two albums, "Reckless Burning" and "Oh My Girl", are almost identical. Oh well; very good, but very samey). * Porter Wagoner b Wagonmaster: if youbre gonna go, go out on a high note. Thatbs exactly what The Thin Man From West Plains did. Itbs very straight country, but the decades of experience polish it brighter than rhinestones.
