[Carrie Galbraith ] Re: "Born Old" vs. "Forever Young" [Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Shadow Cat! Nuppy's mini-review: Robyn Hitchcock Shadow Cat 1. For Debbie Reynolds Just like this one ok. Bonus to hear the phone ring at the end. You know it was just Robyn and a microphone recording it in his living room. 2. Never Have to See You Again I'm doing this from memory and I can't remember this one right now. 3. LoveAaffair Oh I really like this one. Very catchy and moody. It's been stuck in my head for days now. "It's the end of the season. And nobodys there..." 4. The Wind Cries Mary I fell asleep to this the 1st day I heard it, but I was tired from a plane flight. Terry's organ is nice and it's a good track. 5. High On Yourself "Let's go shopping on pain killers" what a great and interesting line! This is probably my favorite track on the album. Very Eye with that light tingling piano. 6. Because You're Over Weird. I like weird, but I've been skipping this track usually. There is one very emotional moment in it which I love. 7. The Cat Walks Her Kind of Line Could be called "I've Got The Hots For You Part II" 8. Statue With a Walkman Same version as the Sequel sampler, but shorter. Why did Robyn fade it out?! I prefer the monologue longer version! 9. The Green Boy Cool to hear the demo, but Bram version is far better. 10. Real Dot Jon Brion uses the same effect on Robyn's single vocal as he does on Because You're Over, but I like this one better. 11. Nothing But Time A nice track. Nothing to dislike about it, but nothing to love about it either. 12. Beautiful Shock I dig this one! 4 track home Robyn. He's a good engineer! 13. Baby-doll Another gem. Strange it's so late on the album. A great song. 14. Shadow Cat I get "Here comes Deloris and Rawlllll" stuck in my head. At first I thought he was saying "Ralph". What is he saying? I like this track too, but not as much as Baby-doll. Good guitar solo work in this one. Over all I'm very happy with the album. Terry's mastering job, does seem a little dull and thin, but could be from the original source recordings. I've listened to SC repeatingly more times than anything else he's put out in the last couple years. - -Nuppy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 09:48:58 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: How far the butt-doctor's arse has spread already On Jan 23, 2008 9:59 PM, Jeff Dwarf wrote: > Rex wrote: > > On the other hand you're well within your rights to be irritated at > > longtime friends misspellling your actual name, or thinking you're > > from someplace quite other than where you are, etc. Again, > > Virginia, West Virginia... two different states, kids. > > Your own kids...wow, that's rough. > "Kids" there was being used inna Letterman stylee (as in, again, "all ye good people" or some such).

It's tough for me to tell which of my kids' friends are trendily-named that way; a lot of them are Jewish, so those names have been in circulation in their families for a while. There are a suprising number of Lolitas (literal ones, that is) in the 9-13 range, which might raise an eyebrow or two. No Calebs that I know of, but the girls mainly talk about the other girls, so the boys in the 10-5 range are a bit of an enigma to me, name-wise. The other interesting thing to watch is what names are sold on pre-personalized keychains and mugs and shit you can buy at Hallmark or wherever. Especially the shit, but I digress. Two of my kids have names that are nevar evar gonna show up on those racks, and the third one is a long shot... and yet their little cousin Mackenzie is set to go with two whole variations most of the time. Weird names are usually good.

I'm glad I never heard it when it was out or I would have hated it, but hearing it for the first time now, I can dig. The video, however (YouTube at your own risk) is highly messed up. The highlight is that Welch is carrying around a cordless mic, for no real reason, and at one point forgets about it until halfway through a lyric and then picks it up and moves it to his mouth in mid-phrase, all casual-like.

Well, "Lolita" is itself a diminutive of "Dolores," so there's that possibility also, unlikely though it probably is. I definitely think it's bizarre.

This reminds me, once again, of the fact that I once had a student whose surname was Dahmer. And he was from Milwaukee. No, he wasn't Jeffrey Dahmer...and no, I didn't have the guts to ask if he was any relation.

One of the more unusual albums to be conceived in recent years, actress Scarlett Johansson's interpretations of Tom Waits songs, will hit stores this spring. "Anywhere I Lay My Head" will be released May 20 via Rhino Entertainment's Atco imprint. Johansson collaborated on the album with Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner, Celebration's Sean Antanaitis and TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, who produced. The track list sports 10 Waits covers and one original track, but full details have yet to be announced. Johansson recorded the album over five weeks last spring at Dockside Studios in Maurice, La. Her prior music dalliances include singing the track "Summertime" for "Unexpected Dreams," a 2006 charity album featuring film stars, and a surprise appearance with the Jesus & Mary Chain at last year's Coachella festival **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Joss Whedon is God, OK? - - c ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:24:42 -0500 From: lep Subject: Re: OK, all I'm going to say is this. Carrie says: > Deep into Season 6 of BTVS and Season 2 of Angel and what I am > thinking is... i'm now sure that season 6 is my favourite season of buffy. i mean, you've all been dying to know, i'm sure. > Joss Whedon is God, OK? i'm sure that's code talk for "spike is soooooooooooooo sexy, and a bit sinister." xo p.s. BTW, i love those whedon writer/producer gals - jane espenson and marti noxon. they show up on commentaries and featurettes. they're pretty geeky - i would *so* be friends with them. and not just to ask questions about spike. i believe jane espenson now shows up on the BSG credits (not to stir (much) trouble, but even though i very much enjoyed buffy and angel series, i like BSG much better.) p.p.s. what episodes are you on, carrie? - -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:26:45 +0100 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: "Born Old" vs. "Forever Young" - -- lep is rumored to have mumbled on 25.
