Modern Lovers only have one real-ass kicker, but it is so good that they belong more than either of the above. The aforementioned-ass Huskers do will never make it in, and I count five classics there... your ass-mileage may vary. The HOF is into Troubled Years now, no matter how you slice it: the post-punk/new wave years are the first time rock profoundly bifurcated into "popular" and "underground" camps, the hitmakers having less sway/influence over the "future" of rock than bands that didn't sell shit. They're screwed, I figure. Screweder than usual, even. Speaking of the Huskers, played a show with the new lineup of the band last night, and the savvy soundman sensibly threw on "Candy-Ass Apple Grey" right afterwards, showing that he was paying attention. Bassist from another band made the Minnesota connection, too. I thought we were gonna come out all Paisley this time around, but Twin/Tone it is, and that's fine-ass with me. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:04:17 -0500 From: lep Subject: 2008: Bring It! http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=20540&ca=10 i don't know why i think jeff 2fs might care, but i do. maybe we had an offlist conversation about pantone-292? new york times article (registration probably required) http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/fashion/20COLOR.html?_r=1&8dpc&oref=slogin as ever, lauren - -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:15:14 EST From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: for adults only ( robyn content) # 728 _http://rateyourmusic.com/lists/list_view?list_id=6482&show=150&start=600_ (http://rateyourmusic.com/lists/list_view?list_id=6482&show=150&start=600) **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 11:39:25 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: 2008: Bring It!

He formed Mike Smith's Rock Engine and did two mini-tours of the U.S., although he was legally forbidden from using any mention of the DC5 in his advertising. Just a few months after his only son died in a diving accident, Smith suffered a spinal cord injury in a fall at his home in Spain on 12 September 2003. He was until end October 2007 a patient at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, a fact which has been reported in many Sixties magazines in the United Kingdom and is common knowledge in that country. He is back at his home in Aylesbury and is receiving 24/7 private care as well as support from his wife. It has falsely been claimed by some sources that he is and has always been in London in a hospital. "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush.

Without a doubt 'Jesus of Cool' (known as 'Pure Pop For Now People' in the states until now) was a landmark release, bringing Nick Lowe to the forefront as a solo artist after having spent many years as producer and band member. As the holiday break approaches we thought you'd enjoy checking a few of these great clips out from that era of Nick's career. Below are performances of songs from 'Jesus of Cool': 'So It Goes,' 'I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass,' and 'Heart of the City'. 'Cruel To Be Kind' appears as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary edition in its original form. There's also a great clip of of an interview with Nick and Elvis Costello from the studIos of WBCN in Boston circa 1978.
